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 | |
