Dear Mr. President: Send Even MORE Troops (and you go, too!)

Listen, can I be frank? Sending in 20,000 more troops just ain't gonna do the job. That will only bring the troop level back up to what it was last year. And we were losing the war last year!

Rep. Dennis Kucinich: Out of Iraq and Back to the American City

We are losing our nation to a philosophy of war and destruction. It is time for policies of peace and construction. It is time for the philosophy of peace, nonviolence and economic justice. This was the philosophy of Dr. King, Gandhi, Jesus, Fredrick Douglas, A. Philip Randolph, Bayard Rustin, Fannie Lou Hamer, Sojourner Truth, Cesar Chavez, and Jesse Jackson.

Mr. President, Surge This

Here's the situation we're in.  President Bush and his gang lied us into a war.  The occupation of Iraq has nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction or 9-11 or Saddam Hussein or democracy or making Americans more safe.

Reflections on the Murder of Saddam Hussein

Most people would agree, I think, that Saddam Hussein was not a role model of what a political leader should be. It is hard to have sympathy for a man who was responsible for the murders of thousands of people and who routinely resorted to force and violence in order to maintain himself in power.

Iraq: Abbas Dawood, “I lost 11 members of my family in less than one year”

“I’m 29-years-old. I’ve been handicapped since 18 January, 2006, when I lost my leg in an explosion while I was working as a waiter in a Baghdad restaurant.
