                          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?
