Meatstick Opinion: I like Kucinich
I care most about the war in Iraq. This is what Kucinich would do if elected:
- Announce that the US will end the occupation, close the military bases, and withdraw.
- Announce that existing funds will be used to bring the troops and the necessary equipment home.
- Order a simultaneous return of all U.S. contractors to the United States and turn over the contracting work to the Iraqi government
- Convene a regional conference for the purpose of developing a security and stabilization force for Iraq.
- Prepare an international security peacekeeping force to move in, replacing U.S. troops, who then return home.
- Develop and fund a process of national reconciliation.
- Restart programs for reconstruction and creating jobs for the Iraqi people.
- Provide reparations for the damage that has been done to the lives of Iraqis.
- Assure the political sovereignty of Iraq and making sure that their oil isn't stolen.
- Repair the Iraqi economy.
- Guarantee economic sovereignty for Iraq
- Commence an international truth and reconciliation process, which establishes a policy of truth and reconciliation between the people of the United States and Iraq.
If this stuff sounds good to you, think about Kucinich for President...

I do like Kucinich but unfortunately a vote for him is a vote away from Obama, hence insuring a Hillary Democratic nomination, thus ensuring another Republican in the White House. WE CAN'T HAVE THAT!!
Wow - so Jayron's against The Hillary, huh? I had no idea...
Okay. So what do you say to people who counter with, "If we left now, that entire region would be a disaster." Or simply, "We can't just pack up and leave."
Don't get me wrong, I'm for complete and immediate withdrawal. I'd just like to know from someone who's been there what to say to those who insist it can't happen.
Let 'er rip.
And tell Jayron to relax.
;-)
I am for some type of major withdrawal within six months. It is going to be very ugly though and that is being glossed over. I heard Frederick Kagan (wing nut) speak and he discussed the amount of long term damage that will be done to the US military while they sit behind their fences and pack their equipment while chaos reins in the streets - and all of it on TV 24 hours a day. This will hold if you think that the sectarian violence will increase when we leave, which it may not. If it doesn't then it will be a lot less sloppy. I would hate to see a great and necessary institution like the US Army be destroyed in the process of withdrawal.
My professor said that just because the choices are bad it doesn't meant that there are better ones to choose from.
Cheney and his friends are dicks.
