Kucinich: They're Planning to Attack Iran
From the office of Rep. Dennis Kucinich:
Administration's Terrorist Labeling Is a Calculated Plan To Set the Stage For War With Iran
WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 15, 2007) - Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) called the Administration's latest idea to label Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps as a foreign terrorist organization another step in the lead-up to war with Iran.
"The belligerent Bush Administration is using this pending designation to convince the American public into accepting that a war with Iran is inevitable," Kucinich said.
"This designation will set the stage for more chaos in the region because it undercuts all of our diplomatic efforts.
"This new label provides further evidence for Iran's leaders that there is no point to engage in diplomatic talks with the United States if our actions point directly to regime change, said Kucinich. "Our nation is better served by demanding sensible and responsible diplomatic foreign policy initiatives from the Bush Administration.
"This is nothing more than an attempt to deceive Americans into yet another war - this time with Iran," Kucinich concluded.

Extra! Extra!
Kucinich is correct. Impeachment must be immediate and without
hesitation if we want to see our country return to a rational
rule of law. Please contact your Reps. and demand that they
honor their oath to the Constitution and the People who elected
them.
Kucinich will have my vote even if the MSM manages to keep him off the ballot. Run as a third party if you have to. I will not support
any candidate who can not see with their own eyes the danger to our
republic if we do not protect our Constitution now. Strength through Peace!!!
IMPEACH REMOVE INDICT NOW !!!
WOOT
Rock n Roll Time!
Go BUSH!
I'll be sure and tell my reps I'm ok with going to war with IRAN.
adios
The end of the world
Is he really trying to expedite "Revelations" ?
Kucinich needs to put action where his words are.
DK cannot simply tell us that Bush is after another war he must take dramatic action to force Congress to impeach. He could do it by taking the floor before the American people on C-Span and offer his leadership to all Americans who will support impeachment by participating in a show of national solidarity by staying home from work and shopping for a determined time - 72 hours - with the option of extending it if Congress continues to protect the most criminal administration in US history. But he won't. Why? Because he is a con artist. He is playing his part as the underdog candidate for the anti-war anti-Bush sentiment that exists throughout this country. If not, if he is honestly opposed to all-out war on Iraq then I challenge him to put aside his personal ambitions of running for president and be a true patriot by standing for impeachment in the House and calling on America to join him in creating a confrontation with Congress - impeach or we stay home.
Kucinich doesn't belong in the Democratic Party:
he speaks the truth! The sooner he leaves these corrupt Bush enablers, the better his chances are to be the next President. He must run an an Independent. Neocon Pelosi (who thinks Bush is a 'charming man') is in bed with the Chimp, won't impeach him and is pissing on the US Constitution on a daily basis. Hitlery and Obomber both want to nuke whatever country might be convenient at the time. Reid is a coward, or is the word 'coward' redundant for a Democrat?
Can you imagine Bill Clinton back in the Oval Office? I can't. They had to change all the upholstery since all of it had white stains, we can't have this draft dodger who destroyed the middle class with NAFTA, GATT, WTO back in power again, God have mercy.
KUCINICH 08
This country needs Dennis Kucinich as badly as Bush needs help with the big words in THE PET GOAT. We are sick of bloodthirsty chicken hawks, Republican and Democrat.
Oh, and from this day forward, Hillary and Obama will officially be known as Hitlery and Obomber in my house. BEST.NICKNAMES.EVER!!!
The worst part is that this is also Edwards's plan
We don't just need to stop Bush. We need to stop Edwards or we'll still go to war with Iran.

War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength:
the John Edwards Approach
by Alex H.
August 3, 2007
1. War is Peace
http://www.herzliyaconference.org/Eng/_Articles/Article.asp?ArticleID=17...
At the top of these threats is Iran. Iran threatens the security of Israel and the entire world. Let me be clear: Under no circumstances can Iran be allowed to have nuclear weapons. For years, the US hasn't done enough to deal with what I have seen as a threat from Iran. As my country stayed on the sidelines, these problems got worse. To a large extent, the US abdicated its responsibility to the Europeans. ...
Once Iran goes nuclear, other countries in the Middle East will go nuclear, making Israel's neighborhood much more volatile.
Iran must know that the world won't back down. The recent UN resolution ordering Iran to halt the enrichment of uranium was not enough... To ensure that Iran never gets nuclear weapons, we need to keep ALL options on the table, Let me reiterate-ALL options must remain on the table.
The war in Lebanon had Iranian fingerprints all over it. I was in Israel in June, and I took a helicopter trip over the Lebanese border. I saw the Hezbollah rockets, and the havoc wreaked by the extremism on Israel's border. Hezbollah is an instrument of the Iranian government, and Iranian rockets allowed Hezbollah to attack and wage war against Israel.
I cannot talk about the war last summer without referring to the Syrian role in destabilizing area. Syria needs to be held accountable. Syria has recently called for peace talks with Israel. Talk is cheap. Syria needs to go long way to prove it is ready for peace. It can start by not harboring terrorists and ending its nefarious relationship with Iran.
While Iran is the greatest threat now, but just as alarming is the one on your doorstep. Hamas, with Iranian support, doesn't make any mistake of its intentions to wipe out Israel.
.... For peace, Israel needs a partner.
Absent this partnership, Israel not only has the right to defend itself, it has an obligation to defend itself. This means continuing to ensure Israel's military strength, diplomatically and economically. The hurdles are clear.
For too long, the current US administration's commitment to this issue has been halfhearted. Now, on the backdrop of Iraq, they have tried to bring the two sides together. This is especially significant since they have squandered America's moral authority in the Middle East and around the world.We should be finding ways to upgrade Israel's relationship with NATO. This could even some day mean membership. NATO's mission now goes far beyond just Europe. Therefore, it is only natural that NATO seeks to include Israel.
John Edwards at Herzliya Conference, 2007
http://www.command-post.org/2004/2_archives/009786.html
As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I firmly believe that the issue of Iraq is not about politics. It's about national security. We know that for at least 20 years, Saddam Hussein has obsessively sought weapons of mass destruction through every means available. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons today. He has used them in the past, and he is doing everything he can to build more. Each day he inches closer to his longtime goal of nuclear capability - a capability that could be less than a year away.
I believe that Saddam Hussein's Iraqi regime represents a clear threat to the United States, to our allies, to our interests around the world, and to the values of freedom and democracy we hold dear.
...
What's more, the terrorist threat against America is all too clear. Thousands of terrorist operatives around the world would pay anything to get their hands on Saddam's arsenal, and there is every possibility that he could turn his weapons over to these terrorists. No one can doubt that if the terrorists of September 11th had had weapons of mass destruction, they would have used them. On September 12, 2002, we can hardly ignore the terrorist threat, and the serious danger that Saddam would allow his arsenal to be used in aid of terror.
John Edwards, September 12, 2002, timed to coincide with Bush's Speech at the United Nations
From the Congressional Record for October 10, 2002, viewable through query at Thomas.loc.gov:
Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. President, I am here to speak in support of the resolution before us, which I cosponsored. I believe we must vote for this resolution not because we want war, but because the national security of our country requires action. The prospect of using force to protect our security is the most difficult decision a Nation must ever make.
We all agree that this is not an easy decision. It carries many risks. If force proves necessary, it will also carry costs, certainly in resources, and perhaps in lives. After careful consideration, I believe that the risks of inaction are far greater than the risks of action.
Saddam Hussein's regime represents a grave threat to America and our allies, including our vital ally, Israel. For more than two decades, Saddam Hussein has sought weapons of mass destruction through every available means. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons. He has already used them against his neighbors and his own people, and is trying to build more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear weapons, and we know that each day he gets closer to achieving that goal.
...
This resolution will send a clear message to Iraq and the world: America is united in its determination to eliminate forever the threat of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
...
That is why we must be prepared to use force, if necessary, to disarm Saddam Hussein, and eliminate Iraq's weapons of mass destruction once and for all.
Almost no one disagrees with these basic facts: that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a menace; that he has weapons of mass destruction and that he is doing everything in his power to get nuclear weapons; that he has supported terrorists; that he is a grave threat to the region, to vital allies like Israel, and to the United States; and that he is thwarting the will of the international community and undermining the United Nations' credibility.
Yet some question why Congress should act now to give the President the authority to act against Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.
I believe we should act now for two reasons: first, bipartisan congressional action on a strong, unambiguous resolution, like the one before us now, will strengthen America's hand as we seek support from the Security Council and seek to enlist the cooperation of our allies.
If the administration continues its strong, if belated, diplomacy, backed by the bipartisan resolve of the Congress, I believe the United States will succeed in rallying many allies to our side.
...It contains several provisions that I and many of my colleagues have long argued were required.
First, it gives the administration the authority to use all necessary means to eliminate the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.
...
It is in America's national interest to help build an Iraq at peace with itself and its neighbors, because a democratic, tolerant and accountable Iraq will be a peaceful regional partner. Such an Iraq could serve as a model for the entire Arab world.
...
Finally, in taking this action, Congress must make clear that any actions against Iraq are part of a broader strategy to strengthen American security in the Middle East, and indeed around the world.
...
U S Senate,October 10, 2002, pages S10325-S10326.
Dick Durbin has openly stated that the Intelligence Committee, on which John Edwards sat, knew that there were no weapons of mass destruction but could not tell. Dick Durbin didn't tell in 2002 but voted against Edwards's Iraqi War Powers Resolution. Edwards also didn't tell the truth. He lied about weapons of mass destruction he knew didn't exist and then persuaded others in Congress to back the resolution based on his lies.
But Edwards says he is for peace and we mustn't question someone who says he is for peace.
What we are doing is making a sacrifice in the interest of peace. We make this sacrifice, but we, at least, want to have peace in exchange for it.
Adolph Hitler, January 30, 1941 in defense of his policies against immigrants and Jews
Maybe it is time we question someone who says he is for peace. Is war really peace? The campaign of John Edwards depends on supporters believing this lie. Is it enough to replace one warmonger with another? Is a genuine peace candidate really unelectable as Edwards claims? Are the American people capable of doing better than the Edwards supporters believe they will. Are the American people capable of independent thought? Are they capable of making intelligent choices? Are you?
2. Freedom is Slavery
From U.S. Senate discussion of USA-PATRIOT:
Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. President, I rise in support of S. 1510, the Uniting and Strengthening America Act.
In the aftermath of September 11, we face two difficult and delicate tasks: to strengthen our security in order to prevent future terrorist attacks, and at the same time, to safeguard the individual liberties that make America a beacon of freedom to all the world.
I believe that when the President signs this anti-terrorism legislation into law, we will have achieved those two goals as best we now can.
...
The bill is not perfect, but it is a good bill, it is important for the Nation, and I am pleased to support it.
US Senate, October 11, 2001, pages S10589-S10590.
The USA-PATRIOT Act has allowed the government to remove our freedoms, invade our privacy and override provisions of the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments. It has been used to detain peace protesters and others attempting to exercise free speech. It has been used to detain others who have committed no crime but opposition to the Bush Administration.

New from John Edwards, Senator, North Carolina;
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
SENATOR EDWARDS PROPOSES
HOMELAND INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
February 13, 2003
WASHINGTON-Senator John Edwards on Thursday introduced legislation to create a Homeland Intelligence Agency to replace FBI units that failed to uncover the September 11 terrorists and still cannot find suspected al Qaeda operatives in the United States.
"We need to be smarter to make America safer," Senator Edwards said. "The FBI is the best law enforcement agency on the planet, but September 11 showed how it has failed as an intelligence gathering agency."
Under Senator Edwards' legislation, the new agency would focus on intelligence, not law enforcement. That focus would let the agency do a better job than the FBI has done tracking terrorist operatives in this country and coordinating intelligence with local lAw enforcement officials and other federal agencies. ...
...
The bill to create the Homeland Intelligence Agency is the centerpiece of a series of six homeland security measures proposed by Senator Edwards in the six weeks since Congress convened.
...
What sorts of things are in this bill?
S.410, Foreign Intelligence Collection Improvement Act of 2003 (Introduced in Senate)
SEC. 602. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Attorney General or a designated attorney for the Government may make an application for an order or an extension of an order authorizing or approving the undisclosed participation of an official of the Homeland Intelligence Agency, or an agent acting on behalf of the Agency, acting in accordance with guidelines established pursuant to section 123 of Homeland Intelligence Agency Act of 2003, in the activities of a religious or political group or organization as part of an investigation to obtain foreign intelligence information or information concerning international terrorism.
...

....
How many more of Edwards's bills can we take before we have no freedom at all? Yet Edwards would have us believe he wants us to be free.
3. Ignorance is Strength
Watch this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-WsvQhVmhc
Is this attempt to silence the most ouspoken candidates and prevent their information from getting to the public really going to make the people stronger? Does lack of knowledge make anyone stronger?
Try posting the words of John Edwards in a forum that contains Edwards supporters. When this has been done, Edwards people go on the attack. How dare anyone quote their candidate! How dare anyone inform the public of where their candidate stands on the issues! Edwards supporters have gone further and worked to get the peace supporters to give up on truth. They have worked to remake peace activists into what Winston Smith became after the torture, after he had given up his goals and dreams and truth.
The Edwards campaign relies on voters to unthink the truth and see war as peace, slavery as freedom and ignorance as strength. Abraham once said, "You can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the peope all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time." For Edwards, the jig may be up.

Impeachment requires evidence of a crime
Don't you think that if there were even a TRACE of evidence that the current administration had committed a crime that there would already be Impeachment proceedings underway? We Impeached Clinton over a BJ...you don't think we'd have already hammered Bush if there were ANY grounds what-so-ever? Pulosi won't touch it with a ten foot pole. You know why? Cause there is NO CAUSE! NOTHING! GET OVER IT! FOOLS! If there were ANY evidence of ANY kind it would have already begun. It hasn't...cause there ISN'T! Wake up and smell the coffee. Islam hates us because we are not Muslim...that's all. And they want to kill us because we are successful without being Muslim. THAT'S ALL!

Kucinich: They're Planning to Attack Iran
Why would Cheney care what he says of does , no one will stop him??? Our democrats are afraid of their own shadow , Except for a few good persons. They don't even talk the talk anymore. They are now even talking about a long time stay in Iraq , this must be to keep the oil companies safe while them steal the Iraq's oil.
The world knows that this administration is planing and preparing to wage war on Iran and this will be be the final step necessary for the destruction of this country. They screwed up their illegal war with Iraq and Iraq is half the size and less than half the people of Iran. Iran has the military and weapons to do large amount of damage to our planes , ships and soldiers. The damage Iran can cause to the oil supply of the world , could cause a world wide economical destruction.
