Mr. Kucinich and Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, Texas Democrat, said some House Republicans are likely to join them in their effort.

If any do - someone PLEASE get us a list! I'd like to know which Republicans are defecting.

Anyone know what International law or any law for that matter these dems are citing when they claimthat a unilateral attack is "illegal?"

[concerned about politics]

Sounds like they're extremely despirate. They're having political temper tantrums. Nothing else they've done to bring back the nations' (and the worlds) Clintonian intrest in building a world wide Marxist state has worked. Their Socialist policies are getting the back seat, and because of that they're losing political (dictorial) power.
Liberals go nuts when they're out of power.
They're freaking out because they aren't getting the attention they want. No one sees them anymore. They're specks on the world stage. Waaaa.

[Always Right]

Go Dems go! I say the more the merrier. Since they are soon to be up for re-election more power to them.

[Patriot_carcass]

Demorcats standing fast against terrorism.

They do not believe the threat that Iraq may unleash.

Osama Bin Laden is just a single guy, living in caves. Yet he is capable of attacking the U. S., which resulted in close to 3000 deaths. You ran out of the Capital building in fear on Sept 11, or did you forget that.

Iraq has a uniformed Army, so it makes it different. Saddam wears a military uniform, with a holstered pistol at his side. That makes him a "combatant", not a politician. He is a terrorist!! He pays the families of terrorists for killing innocent people, uses chemical weapons against his own people, has invaded all his neighboring countries, and has not complied with U. N. resolutions that left him in power after Gulf War of 1991. What does he need to do to make you run in fear?


Elected official's knew Oama's name long before Sept 11. You knew from the loss of life from our embassies in Africa, and in Yemen when the U. S. S. Cole was attacked. You know Saddam's name also. You stood behind your parties President in 1998. That was before our fellow American's were slaughtered where they felt safe.

Do not pretend you do not know the threat. Protect the people that voted for you. When an Iraqi "nuke" goes off in Isreal or is detonated in the U. S. Capital, it will be too late.

Would you rather be known as a Senator that protected the lives of the innocents, or the Senator that would not cooperate with a President because he is from a different political party. The choice is yours. History is waiting your decision.

[Libertina]

This jerk is one of ours... WA State Ping ! Time to innundate Jim McDermott's office with irate calls people. This guy is a moron. Does anyone remember him opposing Clinton's military actions?

[LisaFab]

Mr. McDermott alluded to the Vietnam War. "I saw what happens when you send your people to something where it is unclear why they're there, what the goal is," he said.

Exactly what is unclear about the mission in Iraq?

[ohioman]

At least the piece of shit traitors are now coming out of the closet. I home the sheeple remember these folks come election day. I hope the brave men and women in our military memorize the names of these idiots, and remember that most of America supports our military 100%.

[Aegedius]

Mr. McDermott alluded to the Vietnam War. "I saw what happens when you send your people to something where it is unclear why they're there, what the goal is," he said.
Mr. McDermott said the administration's goal is a regime change in Iraq...

First no one knows what the goal is, then everyone does. Who elects idiots like this?

[adam stevens]

The Radical Left has made it clear that the Democratic Party is the party of surrenduring to terrorists like Hussein. That makes the enemy as far as I'm concerned.

What I wonder is if Cynthia McKinney and Ron Paul will join these scumbags!

[Wolfstar]

It's amazing what a change in political control of the White House will do to the "principled stances" of some congress-critters.

Four years ago, while "their" president, Bill Clinton, was in office, Kucinich, McDermott, Kaptur, Jackson-Lee, Morella*, and DeFazio voted FOR the Iraq Act of 1998.

Once Bill Clinton signed it in October of that year, a policy of REGIME CHANGE in IRAQ became United States law. (*Yes, Morella is nominally a Republican.)

Although my politics couldn't be more opposite hers, to her considerable credit, the only congress-critter mentioned in this article who has remained consistent through the years is Barbara Lee, who voted against the 1998 Iraq Act. If nothing else, Ms. Lee is at least not hypocritical.

[Frumious Bandersnatch]

Actually this may be good. If Bush can continue to make an excellent case to the U.S., These congresscritters' jobs may be in jeapardy.

[Paul Atreides]

House Democrats form anti-war coalition

It's more like the "Don't let Bill get overshadowed" coalition.

[pfflier]

We've seen it and heard it all before. I wonder why Demoncrats are first in line to be anti-American on something that requires a show of national unity.

I hope that when the terrorists strike next (and they will when they perceive weakness and division) that these Demoncrat weenies stand up for what they said and did.

However, like those that opposed the "next Vietnam", the Persian Gulf war, they will probably just erase the public record and pick up their flag to wave it with all the others who did support our country. Sunshine patriots need to be remembered on election day!

[pray4liberty]

A group of 19 House Democrats yesterday pledged to build a congressional coalition to oppose a U.S. military attack on Iraq.

Are they going to wait until Saddam releases black pox on their families? Don't they suspect that Saddam has an intelligence apparatus that has the goods on all of them? That they, more than anyone else, could be a target?

Why aren't these people scared?

[CyberAnt]

Only one explanation - these people are deaf, dumb and just plain stupid. Oh well ... maybe there will be more GOP victories than we planned on ... that's okay with me!!

[John Lenin]

Dennis Kucinich is a RED, COMMIE, DIAPER BABY. A proud member of the Communist Party USA.

Dear friends, A few minutes ago Saddam announced that weapons inspectors from the UN can return to Iraq.

I met for 1.5 hours on Friday night with Naji Sabri, foreign minister of Iraq to discuss the possibility of accepting the Iraqi parliamentary offer for Congresspersons to visit Iraq and bring their own Inspectors. I told him I waqs ready to come with the UN inspectors as our inspectors.. We discussed at length the proposal and at the conclusion , he said, I think the Congress will get a surprise soon. Today's action is a major step away from war. There is plenty of time for many slips between the lip and the cup. Minister Sabri raised a point we must consider. He said , "Why should we let the Inspectors in to Iraq when Mr Bush has already decided we need a regime change. How long with the inspectors be with us? When will there be a clean bill or is it only a matter of time before your President suggests that we are obstructing the inspectors and sending in the bombs and troops.?

It seems to me that the problem for us is how to tone down the Presidents rhetoric. I expect there will be an immediate attack on the integrity of the Iraqi offer.

peace, Jim McDermott
