KUCINICH TUGGING DEMOCRATS IN THE DIRECTION OF PEACE
This past week, Congressman Dennis Kucinich could be seen on national TV debating Republican leaders on the war in Iraq. Since last fall, Kucinich has been the leading voice among Democrats in offering a plan to get U.S. troops out of Iraq, bring in U.N. peacekeepers and begin on a path towards peace.

On Wednesday, Kucinich debated Republican Deputy Majority Whip Mark Foley on CNN's Wolf Blitzer Reports. Kucinich warned that the arguments used for keeping American troops in Iraq are the same kind of arguments used to keep us in Vietnam. "We're getting into this deeper when we should be constructing a plan to bring the United Nations peacekeeping forces in because the UN is the only way out. We could be in a war which could last ten or twelve years. The Democrats should be taking a position challenging this administration for taking this country into this war!"

Earlier this week Kucinich debated California Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher on MSNBC urging the Democratic Party to take a stand against the continued occupation of Iraq. "My position in this race; I'm like a little tugboat that's trying to pull a big liner called the Democratic Party to get it out to sea so it can sail successfully to victory. I don't think it can do that if it's staying in the harbor quibbling about whether to take a position on the war or not."

The Democratic Party leadership seems to be feeling the pull. In the last week, presumptive nominee John Kerry has made more and more statements advocating internationalizing the Iraq effort, calling for the US-led Coalition Provisional Authority to hand over responsibility for reconstruction and establishing a new government to "a legitimate international entity."

TAKE ACTION ON THE NEW DEMOCRATS.ORG: STOP THE BUSH 9/11 STONEWALL

Today, we heard the public testimony of Bush's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, in front of the commission investigating the attacks of September 11. As we've come to expect from this White House, the main themes of Rice's testimony were assigning blame and avoiding responsibility. According to Rice, the administrations of the last 20 years all bear the responsibility of the September 11 attacks, while the Bush administration is in the clear. But in a shocking revelation, we learned that on August 6, 2001, President Bush received a briefing titled, "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States." But Bush spent the month of August on vacation at his ranch. No wonder this administration has done everything to delay, obstruct, and dismiss the work of the 9/11 commission.
