                      IRAQ HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH
                                  9/11

  (Mr. KUCINICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, 3,124 innocent civilians died in the 9/11 
attacks at the World Trade Center, on the airliners and at the 
Pentagon; 2,151 U.S. soldiers have been killed in action; 15,881 U.S. 
soldiers have been wounded; 30,000 Iraqi civilian non-combatants, 
according to the White House, have been killed in Iraq; 500,000 tons of 
bombs have been dropped on Iraq by just one U.S. air wing. That is 
equivalent to 1 billion pounds of explosives, 2 million 500-pound 
bombs, nearly 400 pounds of explosives for every Iraqi man, woman, and 
child. Zero is the number of weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq. 
Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.
