Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) told The Hill. The outspoken anti-war activist said any such action would plunge the United States into another war in the Middle East and embolden Islamist militants fighting Bashar Assad's regime. “So what, we're about to become Al Qaeda's air force now?†Kucinich said. “This is a very, very serious matter that has broad implications internationally. And to try to minimize it by saying we're just going to have a 'targeted strike' — that's an act of war. It's not anything to be trifled with.†Kucinich also said President Obama would be violating the Constitution if he doesn't get congressional approval before taking any military action in Syria. Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Texas) warned that “any response should include collaboration with other nations and consultation with the United Nations to figure out what weapons have been used.

upi402 (16,699 posts) 6. I suspect he was irrelevant to you before well thatEven though Kucinich was right all along. Still likely IS right. The fact that he's irrelevant is is due to fools drinkin' the Kool Aid and allowing the corporatrist bullshit.

Pretty ironic that you defend someone in Fox's pocket by assuming anyone who doesn't like that has drunk corporate Kool-Aid. That's not even logical. So sorry I insulted your favorite Fox-bot.

Summer Hathaway (2,589 posts) 44. Working for FOX Newsrequires more principals (I think you mean 'principles') than becoming a lobbyist? Who knew? I figured both of them to be pretty much the bottom of the barrel - who being lower down in the barrel than the other being a distinction without a difference. "Why didn't any of the mainstream media offer him a job?" Are we to take it from that comment that it's the MSM's fault that Kooch ended up on a RW propaganda network?

BainsBane (16,431 posts) 15. Actually it's not trueThe situation in Syria is far more complicated than just Al Qaeda vs. Assad. I don't see the advantage of casting the situation in such simplistic terms. It doesn't contribute to understanding the problem.
I disagree with 90% of what Kucinich says or believes in but at least he stays true to his character. Every other democrat party member in good standing blows in the wind for one and only one reason, gaining more power over American citizens.
I am no fan of Dennis Kucinich either, but he is at least honest, which is rare.
It's not really possible for a lunatic to be "honest". He might be accidentally right from time to time, but a nut like the Kootch has no conception of honesty or dishonesty.

Ted Kennedy is the only person with an actual confirmed kill in the war on women.
