Kucinich on Obama’s Escalation: Great Speech, Bad Policy

AP / Charles Rex Arbogast

Barack Obama and Dennis Kucinich at the Yearly Kos convention in 2007.

By Peter Z. Scheer

The other “peace candidate” in the 2008 Democratic primary isn’t thrilled with the president’s order to radically escalate the war in Afghanistan, no matter if there’s an exit strategy: “What are we going to learn in 18 months that we haven’t already learned in the last eight years?”

Dennis Kucinich is one of the “FEW” that makes any sense. He’s highly intelligent, compassionate, cares about us - the little guys, and does an excellnt job in all areas and on all levels. Thankfully he’s there. Too bad he can’t be our president. Very sad ~

Dennis Kucinich: still one of the very few politicians in America who makes sense. He is right for certain about the consequences of imperialistic militarism America pursues.
