Quote Of The Day: Kucinich Was Right About Everything
"Everything I said back then was right today.”
-- Dennis Kucinich, in an interview with the Boston Globe, on his early insistence that Dems aggressively confront George Bush over the Iraq war

That you quote Kucinich without comment implies you think there was something with regard to Iraq that he was wrong about. Well, please tell us what - don't keep us in suspense. Because without your help, I can't think of anything. Or maybe you don't say what he was wrong about because you can't think of anything either - you just like to make fun of somebody who actually WAS right.

yeah, Dennis was ahead of his times just like he was with Muni Light.
Bush, the naked emporer, kept spinning lies while "Dennis the Patriot" kept telling him: "what you're spinning isn't fit for cloth!"
Of course, since the European papers were debunking Bush's myths in real time, I agreed with Dennis that we were in Iraq for the oil.
That's why I remain unsurprised that the infrastructure in Iraq is still decimated because the US does it to eliminate the possibility of Iraq unifying against the occupier, just like Israel "bombed Lebanon into the stoneage and, as a finishing touch, left them with the biggest oil spill in mediteranean history."

I think that some people feel that "the US cleaned up the world" and Kucinich wouldn't have done that.
In my wordview, I think Saddamm's hanging only adds one more body to the already huge pile of bodies but others will use this event as "proof of victory."
In some ways, I think that the military industrial complex is creating the "next halocaust" that excuses agression in US policy and makes it the alpha male again.

Robert Scheer's recent column (which I put in the Miscellaneous Political Discussion Table but apparently nobody has noticed) notes that while oil is important the real reason we are in a never-ending war on terror is that the military-industrial-complex needed something to replace the never-ending Cold War.

Right, but take away the oil and how long does our military operate? Take away the oil, and what happens to the US economy. Don't have a military or sweetheart deals, then how long do you keep your oil?
I really liked Dennis because of his "department of peace" or, in my mind, the idea that we could look for ways to replace parts of the enomony that caused war.
