Statement of Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich On H. Con. Res. 95 "The Support The Troops" Resolution
This evening, Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH), who leads opposition in the House to the war in Iraq, issued the following statement:
"I support the brave young men and women who are following orders that have placed them in harm's way. I hope and pray for their safe return. My thoughts and prayers are with them, their families and loved ones in this difficult time.
"While I will always support the troops, I can not support this mission. Last night, the President ordered an unprovoked aggressive attack against Iraq in violation of American traditions of defensive war.
"This war is wrong. As a nation we must come together to support the troops but, continue to challenge the policy that has put them at grave risk."
This evening, Kucinich attempted to bring a non-controversial resolution to the House floor, H. Con. Res. 105, to support the brave men and women who are serving in our Armed Service but was rejected by Republicans.
