> Dennis Kucinich was right on Iraq: The Occupation is a Failure
28 January 2005, 03:02
Rep. Lynn Woolsey introduced a resolution along with two dozen other House members that calls on the president to begin the immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
"Some say that we have a responsibility to the people of Iraq to keep our troops there, that we must not abandon them. This misses the point," Woolsey said yesterday, in a speech delivered on the House floor. "Our very presence in Iraq is the cause of much of the violence. We have a moral responsibility to leave in order to stem the violence.
Saying the American military’s continued presence in Iraq is fanning the flames of conflict, Kennedy said at least 12,000 U.S. troops should leave at once, and a complete withdrawal should be finished as early as possible in 2006.
"The U.S. military presence has become part of the problem, not part of the solution,"
