                    TIME FOR U.S. TO GET OUT OF IRAQ

  (Mr. KUCINICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KUCINICH. It is time for the United States to get out of Iraq. It 
is time to get the U.N. in and the U.S. out, to bring our troops home 
and to end this sorry exercise in preemption and unilateralism.
  America can ill afford to spend $87 billion on top of $179 billion in 
support of a war which has no end, no exit, no logic and no sense. It 
is time to come up with a plan to get the U.N. in and the U.S. out. We 
must work with the world community on this.
  Today the administration will tell Congress that it was deceived by 
Saddam Hussein into thinking that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. 
Let this Congress not be deceived by an administration that took this 
Nation into a war we did not have to fight. Bring our troops home.
  Vote against the $87 billion; U.N. in and U.S. out of Iraq.
