"Kucinich: Stop Escalation of Iraq War: End the Occupation"

"The US forces in Iraq are escalating the war. Residential areas are now being attacked and flattened. Opposition forces in Iraq are likewise escalating their attacks. The President is talking about sending more troops to Iraq, while discussion of a draft continues to swirl. The US presence in Iraq is inciting violence around the world. This Administration is issuing new terror warnings even as its policies make Americans less safe. And yet, incredibly, Democratic candidates, including one who claims to have opposed the war, continue to support the occupation."

"News reports indicate US tanks and helicopters are flattening houses, which raises questions about possible violations of the Geneva Conventions. Is this administration deliberately violating the Geneva Conventions in the name of fighting terrorism? Is it now 'bombing the villages to save the villages'?"

It's time to bring the troops home. We are only causing more hatred and instability.

We really need to get off this ridiculous 'cut and run' BS and start some SERIOUS dialogue about the situation in Iraq.
