You Have Much To Answer For, Cleveland
November 16th, 2006 | by Todd W |Our favorite McGovernite nutball, Denis Kucinich (D - CLEVELAND) pipes up with some squishy idealism today.
“I want to say that there’s one solution here, and it’s not to engage in a debate with the President, who has taken us down a path of disaster in Iraq, but it’s for Congress to assume the full power that it has under the Constitution to cut off funds. We don’t need to keep indulging in this debate about what to do, because as long as we keep temporizing, the situation gets worse in Iraq.
“We have to determine that the time has come to cut off funds. There’s enough money in the pipeline to achieve the orderly withdrawal that Senator McGovern is talking about. But cut off funds, we must. That’s the ultimate power of the Congress, the power of the purse. That’s how we’ll end this war, and that’s the only way we’re going to end this war.
Never mind the utter chaos that results when the military finds out they are high and dry in the middle of a fire zone. Or the historical precedent in the minds of future soldiers when they have to consider getting cut off in the middle of some future conflict.
Now for the cheap shot.
I swear he’s the collective embodiment of those weird kids in grade school sitting in the back of the room eating their paste.
UPDATE - The Jawa Report has some more news on Kucinich.
With the Democrat takeover of Congress, Congressman Dennis Kucinich will be the presumptive new Chairman of the powerful Subcommittee on National Security, Veterans Affairs and International Relations.
