              BEGIN EFFORT TO BRING TROOPS HOME FROM IRAQ

  (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 years ago, this administration began a 
grim march of folly into Iraq. Today, our troops are bogged down in the 
middle of a civil war.
  Iraq has become an incubator of terrorism. Over 2,300 U.S. troops 
have

been killed, tens of thousands more injured and perhaps 100,000 
innocent Iraqis have been killed, with countless others injured.
  As both the Iraqi public and the American people demand the U.S. 
leave Iraq, this administration plans to send more troops. We must 
bring our troops home. We must vote against any additional 
appropriations that would be used to keep our troops there.
  Plans exist right now that would enable the United States to bring 
our troops home, to begin the effort to bring our troops home. Not a 
dime more for continuing this war; not a dime more for an illegal war 
that was based on lies about weapons of mass destruction.
