WAR DESTRUCTIVE OF NATIONAL AGENDA
(Mr. KUCINICH asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, the Defense bill contained a request for
millions of dollars to retrofit B-2 Stealth bombers so they can carry
30,000-pound bombs, bunker busters, which would be germane to the
administration's intention of attacking Iran. Imagine for a moment
30,000-pound bombs dropped on nuclear research labs in Natanz and in
Bushehr, and you have a humanitarian and ecological disaster on your
hands.
Now, the case for war against Iran is being built on lies, just as
the case for war against Iraq was built on lies. Nearly 4,000 troops
dead; nearly a million innocent Iraqis perished in the conflict;
borrowing money from China to fight a war against Baghdad.
It is time to impeach this Vice President for leading this country
into a war that is so destructive of our national agenda. It is time
for us to reclaim our Constitution and to reclaim the troops.
