WASHINGTON — March 31 — Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) issued the following statement today on the report by the Presidential Commission WMD’s:

"Today, we are once again reminded of what we already know: that this Administration deliberately mislead this nation into an unnecessary war in Iraq. Today’s report now completes a series of reports that have completely debunked this Administration’s entire case for war against Iraq.

"Despite yet another report debunking their case for war, this Administration still fails to admit any mistakes in Iraq. After two years, over 1,500 dead American soldiers, a growing insurgency, political instability, a complete lack of post-war planning, and no exit strategy, I believe it is far past time that this Administration admit the failure of their ill-advised Iraq policy.

"American troops and American taxpayers are footing the bill for a war that was never needed, and a war that is counterproductive to the security interests of our nation. No weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq and the 9-11 Commission has determined that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with the September 11th attacks or the Al Qaeda terrorist network.

"The war in Iraq and the subsequent occupation has been a failure. Iraq is on the verge of a civil war, and the attacks on US soldiers and innocent Iraqi citizens by insurgents are becoming more brazen and deadly by the day. Iraq has now become a breeding ground for terrorism.

"With the entire case for going to war now debunked, it is now time for a new direction in Iraq. We cannot sustain the path this Administration has led us down. It is time for the US to rejoin the world community in meeting security challenges, to bring the UN into Iraq and get the US out."

  • Don’t call them Administration they are traitors and terrorists. George W. Bush and Dick Chenny are
    just pure and simple terrorizing the world in the same way Nazi Germany tried to do.

  • over 1,500 dead American soldiers, a growing insurgency, political instability, a complete lack of post-war planning, and no exit strategy....yeah but...freedom is on the march!

    Not only will these guys not admit mistakes, they actually believe that we will buy whatever bullshit they come up with next. This administration continually insults the intelligence of the American people.

    And what was the ’intelligence’ that they blamed the CIA for anyhow? Most of if they just made up on the spot. The CIA asked them to remove references to yellow cake, but as Condi said "people simply forgot" and then they added it back in for the State of the Union. Their entire case had already been debunked before the war, so what are they even talking about?

    Did the CIA tell Bush to say "Before sept 11, many in the world thought Saddam Hussein could be contained"

    listen to Bush’s state of the Union

    • The Bush administration doesn’t make mistakes.....things are right on course for their oil/military agenda, while the dollar sinks and oil prices skyrocket and the military budget goes through the roof they are personally making billions on oil, and the war industry, things are going quite well and very much by plan, and they can hide behind "dad’s" old outfit that is deflecting and distracting the agenda and the success this gang is enjoying. Never have so few enjoyed so much at the expense of so many.
