COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich said Sunday the thinking that went into producing an Army school blamed for human rights abuses in Latin America was the same that led the U.S. to war in Iraq and could cause it to raid Iran.
Kucinich was speaking at the 18th annual protest of the school at Fort Benning that trains Latin American soldiers, police and government officials. One of his first acts as president if elected would be to close the school, he said.
"The type of thinking that produced this school is the same type of thinking that produced the war in Iraq and is producing a war against Iran," Kucinich said. The Ohio congressman and former Cleveland mayor was addressing a crowd estimated by local police to number roughly 10,000.
The Army's School of the Americas moved to Fort Benning from Panama in 1984 and was replaced in 2001 by the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, under the Defense Department.

No sweatshirts, but a couple of other things on ebay;
Done and done! :-)
and we had Koo-Koo-Sinich supporters protesting outsied the maingate of Fort Huachuca today too. What a collection of ‘60s Hippie-Dippy-Dorks they were.
Then maybe he would understand what the school of the Americas is about. If it was not for the school, the whole of South America would now be run by petty dictators like Chavez, and Fidel Castro.
You think we have open borders now? Vote for this POS, and the US would cease to exist within 10 years.
This idiot is not only stupid, he is dangerous.
These two factors together will likely win him a Darwin Award.
I loved their orange jump suits. I hope some of the ones arrested trying to get on Fort Huachua were wearing them. The Cochise County Jail is not a fun place to be if you are not ready to fight for your right to breath. Oh well no loss if something bad happens to them there.
I can find no humor is watching morons jockeying for positions of power over the Republic...
We are ill served by one of the largest bunch of assholes to ever occupy the Capital..
The Jail in and around Columbus GA is no very nice either.
Did a couple of Freak-A-Zoids tresspass again this year? DANG I Missed it!
After you left they arrested one that I saw. He jumped the fence at the gate and they were all over him. Then I had to leave to do some work at the house. My Daughter reported more jumped the fence and were arrested. She said they hauled them off in a Van.
Too-Too SWEET! Should be on the 10 O’Clock news tonight. Pass the POP-CORN! LOL!

I overheard conversation in the Commissary. They had the first jumper face-down on the asphalt before he had time to think about what was happening.
Real bunch of losers, as I drove by later....
It pains me to think of traitors like Kucinich even near the grounds of Fort Benning, Georgia. My father trained as a paratrooper there during WW II. Had a traitor such Kucinich ever found his way to Fort Benning in those days, then I can tell you there were a lot of patriots there who would have set him straight, if you get my drift.
Noted in case I’m ever forced to move to a blue state.
"Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! Dracula has got to go!"
KGUN just aired it and there’s gonna be three more wearing orange jumpsuits only this time for real.
Even though I’m from Cleveland, it’s not my fault. I swear!
I’m not a big fan of the SOA.
