Kucinich said that Congress should "wake up to the truth and exercise its obligation under the Constitution to save our nation from being destroyed from the lies that took us into Iraq, the lies that keep us there, the lies that are being used to set the stage for war against Iran and the lies that have undermined our basic civil liberties here at home. The September 11 resolution that Congress considers today should have made reference to those matters. It does not, so I cannot support it."
I'm confused. I thought that the Democrats say that the war in Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11?
Kucinich votes against 9/11 anniversary resolution
Cleveland Plain DealersCleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich was the only member of Congress on Monday night to vote against a symbolic resolution to recognize September 11 as a day of remembrance, extend sympathies to those who lost their lives and their families and honor emergency workers and the U.S. armed forces.
Kucinich issued a press release before the vote, criticizing the resolution as "incomplete." and saying that Congress needs to "wake up to the truth and exercise its obligation under the Constitution to save our nation from being destroyed from the lies that took us into Iraq, the lies that keep us there, the lies that are being used to set the stage for war against Iran and the lies that have undetermined our basic civil liberties here at home."
"The September 11 resolution that Congress considers today should have made reference to should have made reference to those matters," he continued. "It does not, so I cannot support it."
Kucinich's presidential campaign set an e-mail this morning to supporters titled "Remembering 9/11" that urged America to "regain the moral high ground in our efforts to recover from 9/11."
"We need to call those who used 9/11 to take us into war against Iraq to an accounting under the U.S. Constitution, U.S. law and international law," Kucinich said in the e-mail.
