Kucinich: Stop Escalation of Iraq War: End the Occupation
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 22, 2003
"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.
"This occupation must end. The United States must go to the UN with a new resolution which will demonstrate that the United States is ready to take a new direction and bring the UN in and get the US out of Iraq."
(see "Press Release: Kucinich Alters Campaign in New Hampshire": http://www.kucinich.us/pressreleases/pr_112103a.php)
Kucinich continued:
"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'?
"The United States occupation of Iraq is making Iraq and the world a more violent place. There is still time to step away from this path of abject destruction. Go to the United Nations. Seek the help of the world community. End the occupation of Iraq. Bring the UN in. Get the US out. Bring our troops home."
