"More Than An Inconvenient Revelation"

“Whatever those candidates say today, remember what they said before: Iran must be stopped at all cost. The fact that Iran stopped pursuing nuclear weaponry four years ago is more than an inconvenient revelation for those candidates. It’s an indictment of their judgment and their qualifications to lead this nation.”

-Dennis Kucinich, regarding the NIE

You know, the more you hear the facts it just starts to sink in: Dennis Kucinich has been right! And consistently right, where our leading Democrats have been wrong.

After writing many Kucinich comments and diaries, trying to convince people of his positions, the most basic facts are still the most powerful. Kucinich has been right. The other candidates have been largely wrong.

Kucinich has, quite simply, evidenced clearer assesment and better judgement on our most critical issues, in the most critical times. He not only voted against the Iraq war/occupation, but compiled detailed analysis of the intelligence concerning Iraq's "weapons of mass destruction" which discredited the argument; an analysis that later proved spot on.

He not only voted against the PATRIOT Act, but he also read it. He voted against funding the war/occupation (the only one who would use the power of the purse!), against Iraqi Oil Privatization tied into supplementals, against China Trade, against Fast-Track, against Yucca Mountain...

Kucinich has been right on these issues, just as he has on Iran. Not only has Kucinich been the only one to have consistently spoken out against the push for war with Iran, actually integrating it into his presidential platform, he has been talking about it for over a year. This comes down again to clarity and judgement. And Kucinich is again the only one tested and proven. Where have the other candidates been? As Kucinich says:

“Iran is a war crime in motion, and the Congress and the Presidential candidates either can’t or won’t recognize that.”

Their judgement?

Today’s report by U.S. intelligence agencies that Iran – contrary to previous claims – ended its nuclear weapons program in 2003 “is proof positive that this pro-war administration has been manipulating intelligence and that the Presidential candidates’ all-options-are-on-the-table posture with respect to Iran reflects their inability to recognize when they’re being duped -- again..."

And, “whatever feeble fall-back statements that the top-polling Democratic Presidential candidates – Clinton, Obama, and Edwards – make today, all three have repeatedly said that all options are on the table with respect to Iran,” Kucinich pointed out.

“All options,” Kucinich said, “include everything from tactical nukes to air strikes to incursions and invasion by U.S. ground troops who are already over-stretched in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Kucinich has been right! It's that simple. Why would anyone vote for the candidates that have been consistently wrong and used poor judgement to lead our nation? That is absurd when there is a Candidate running who has been right. His name is Dennis Kucinich. Please support him!
