MORE MONEY FOR WAR?
(Mr. KUCINICH asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. KUCINICH. The same geniuses who involved the U.S. in a war
against Libya, who knocked off the pro-U.S. Libyan Government, who
created in Benghazi an extremist shooting gallery which has claimed
four American lives including our Ambassador, who have not been held
accountable or responsible for those events, who have opened the door
for radical fundamentalists to run roughshod over Libya, these same
experts are working out of the same playbook for Syria.
Assad was no angel, but he was not a significant threat to the U.S.
Apparently, flush from success in Libya, the administration is
preparing to ratchet up the war in Syria.
Why would Qatar, our partner in Libya, be supplying surface-to-air
missiles to rebels in Syria without the support of this administration?
NATO--meaning the U.S.--discusses putting missiles in Turkey, which
would create a de facto no-fly zone over northwest Syria, expanding the
war.
Is this why we need a tax increase? More money for more war? Really?
