Three Who See the War Clearly. Slowly catching up on my reading. The statement by Rep. Cynthia McKinney at the end of this article is simply outstanding.
I will not vote to give one more soldier to the George W. Bush/Dick Cheney war machine. I will not give one more dollar for a war riddled with conspicuous profiteering.
Tonight I speak as one who has at times been the only Member of this Body at antiwar demonstrations calling for withdrawal. And I won’t stop calling for withdrawal.
I was opposed to this war before there was a war; I was opposed to the war during the war; and I am opposed to this war now – even though it’s supposed to be over.
