We must work to end the occupation immediately, before we do any more damage to ourselves and the country of Iraq.
There is adequate evidence that we were given flagrantly wrong information that caused many members of Congress to believe that it was necessary to invade Iraq. As a result, not only have many of our brave soldiers given the ultimate sacrifice, but many more have returned home to an inadequate care system. Plus millions of Iraqi citizens have been killed, their infrastructure destroyed and their environment polluted with depleted uranium. Is it any wonder that the remaining people are in an uproar? The longer we stay, the more we are hated. Congress has the power of the purse strings-yet, every time, this administration asks for billions more for the occupation of Iraq, our House and Senate agrees. No more! A clear plan has been set forth by Congressman Dennis Kucinich in the House to transfer authority to UN peacekeeping forces and, upon approval, bring our troops home within 90 days.
