Dennis Kucinich: US War Presidents ignore Congress & Constitution

Posted by admin on July 5th, 2010 and filed under congress | 25 Comments »

Anger is growing among Americans – who say less money should be spent on the country’s overseas military campaigns and more on tackling the country’s domestic problems. U.S. congressman Dennis Kucinich, who spoke exclusively to RT’s Dina Gusovsky, says America can no longer afford war-based economy.

    To stop our incursion in Iraq or Afghanistan: Declare a War, instill a DRAFT OR. use the Power of the PURSE to cut off funds. He mentioned Poppie fields, a drastic increase in herion production/profit$. So WHAT is CONGRESS Doing? Why hasn’t anything been done for over 8+ years then? If Congress & Corp Wallstreet are so corrupt, maybe we needs bills tocorrect them.

    The legislative branch is actually supposed to have more power than the executive branch. The president can veto them, but they can override a veto.

    @airattack111 Continued: Our enenmies laugh as Iran laughs. Iran comes to New York, UN, and makes jokes about America and laugh. No more Trumans, no more Bradleys; Our old men are dead and with them the heart of America was buried. Alas we are lost; the marxist/leninests are eating the corpse of AMERICA THE BEAUTIFULL!

    @airattack111 So my friend, when is the last time the US won a war? The US military has been castrated. US lost N. Korea, lost Vietnam, lost Cuba, losing and will not win in Iraq, Afhanistan, Pakistan, Yemen. The enemy kills our soldiers and sailors and civilians at will; the enemy fears no retribution from the US. They know US has been deballed by eniemies within.

    @xmenrus white man scares the black man, lol. didn’t obama even say in his campaign speeches that he was for the afghan war? USA sucks at fighting wars, it’s ridiculous how long this has taken, trying to spare innocent lives yet still killing thousands of them. why not like a 300,000 troop surge to afghanistan and just obliterate any problem? then send the 300,000 back home 2 days later.

    How can the President be under pressure from the Generals when he can fire anyone of them with the flick of the pen just as Pres. Truman fired General Mac Arthur when he wouldn’t shut up talking to the press.

    Letting Generals make the decision on when to go to war is like letting the road paving company decide when your driveway needs paving.

    Next you will see foreign troops all over you if we don’t retake control of DC.

    bribes, corruption …
    bribes, corruption and just straight up lies are all we hear from these guys in washington. our constitution has a first amendment and second amendment and it is in that order for a purpose. the first is to express any and all ideas openly without penalty and the second is for the citizens to fight against tyranny. if you read the constitution is so simple yet very precise. these fools in washington are perverted

  22. davidcole100 Says:

    why would congress …
    why would congress abide by the constitution even they are sworn to it. they have ignored it for the last 40 plus years and we have gone from a great economy to bankruptcy. bush was terrible and not obama is all in with our money and liberty. just say no to congress and washington. our reps and senators have the responsiblity and obligation to stand up and say not according to the constitution. that is called checks and balances. vote them out if they dont follow the constitution

    Afghanistan and …
    Afghanistan and Iraq were both invaded for the wrong reasons. It is all about the money. Iraq is as corrupt as ever and Afghanistan has become increasingly corrupt under Karzi. Opium production has gone through the roof, so I have no doubt the CIA will benefit immensely. It is incredible how ignorant and passive Americans are about all the criminal behavior within the CIA. Dozens of democratically elected leaders have been assassinated, and for what? Control of the world drug trade.

  24. holajim Says:

    The truth is …
    The truth is CONGRESS is ignoring the illegal ACTIONS of the Presidents and it is CONGRESS who has rubber stamped ALL the liberty destroying legislation.

    Congress is HAPPY to let the blame fall on the Presidents while they advance the New World Order Agenda. The last laugh will be on all you who have raped and pillaged our nation.

    Dennis the USA is a … “Republic for which it stands one nation under God Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All.” Please pray to God to help this nation and all people around the world to live with this idea of justice for all.

    A republic and a democracy are identical in every aspect except one. In a republic the sovereignty is in each individual person. In a democracy the sovereignty is in the group.
