Kucinich Uses House Procedure To Demand Evidence of Iraqi Threat
Files Resolution of Inquiry To Demand Documents From The Administration On Iraq's Alleged Weapons of Mass Destruction
The Administration has marched the nation to the verge of a historic preemptive war, despite a lack of evidence that Iraq has useable weapons of mass destruction or proof that Iraq poses an imminent threat to our country. Today, Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) filed a Resolution of Inquiry, in the House, to demand that the Administration give to Congress Iraq's declaration to the United Nations of December 7, 2002.
"While this Administration is ready to send our nation, and the world, to war, it has refused to provide this Congress, or the American people, any proof of that Iraq is an imminent threat," stated Kucinich, who leads opposition in the House to the war in Iraq. "Today's resolution is the first of several that will be filed to obtain from this Administration any evidence it has about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. It is indefensible that this Administration is pushing our nation to verge of war, putting our nation at greater risk of a terrorist attack, without providing proper evidence to the Congress or the American people."
In the weeks to come, Kucinich is expected to offer more Resolutions of Inquiry to demand that the Administration lives up to its duty, to Congress and the American people, to fully disclose any or all information it has on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
