Two-Party Duopoly CommittDennis Kucinich: We Must
Challenge the Two-Party Duopoly Committed to War
By Adam Dick
October 11, 2017 "Information Clearing House" - In a new
interview with host Jesse Ventura at RT, former United
States presidential candidate and House of
Representatives Member Dennis Kucinich stressed the
importance of the American people challenging the two-
party duopoly that s committed to war.
In the interview, Kucinich discusses his work to expose
the misinformation used to argue for US government
interventions overseas before and during the Iraq War
and, later, concerning the US effort to assist in the
overthrow of the Syria government.
Regarding the Iraq War, Kucinich, who is an Advisory
Board member for the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and
Prosperity, explains that his research showed that Iraq
had nothing to do with 9/11, nothing to do with al-Qaeda
s role in 9/11, didn t have any connection to the anthrax
attack, didn t have the intention or the capability of
attacking the United States, and didn t have the weapons
of mass destruction that were being claimed. This
information, Kucinich relates, he provided to US Congress
members in an October 2, 2002 report showing there was no
cause for war.
Despite Kucinich and other individuals efforts to stop
the march toward war, Congress passed an authorization
for use of military force (AUMF) against Iraq later in
October, and the invasion of Iraq commenced in March of
2003.
Kucinich, in the interview, places the Iraq War, with its
costs including trillions in US government spending and
the death of over a million Iraqis, in the context of
this American imperium, this idea that somehow we have
the right to establish ourselves anywhere we want
including with over 800 bases in 132 countries and to go
around the world looking for dragons to slay while we
ignore our own problems here at home.
Why are we wasting the blood of our nation, the treasure
of our nation, our young people on these overseas
activities that are causing catastrophes among families
in other countries? Kucinich asks. He answers as follows:
This is a racket. This is a way for people who make arms
to cash in or have government contracts to cash in.
Continuing with his explanation for the support for the
Iraq War and other US military intervention abroad,
Kucinich says:
The problem today we have in Washington is that both
political parties have converged with the military-
industrial complex, fulfilling President Eisenhower s
nightmare and setting America on a path toward
destruction.
Rescuing America from a future cataclysmic war, Kucinich
argues, requires that Americans both realize that our
position in the world was never, ever meant to be a cop
on the beat, a global cop, and challenge this two-party
duopoly that s committed to war. ed To War
