Kucinich Asks: Is Anyone Else Being Held Accountable?
WASHINGTON, DCÂ (Dec. 30) - Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) issued the following statement today upon the announcement of Saddam Hussein's execution:
"The punishment of Saddam Hussein for the deaths of 148 persons, albeit in a manner that civil society ought to find repugnant, raises compelling questions: Â
"Who will be held accountable for sending 3,000 U.S. troops to their deaths in Iraq, for a war based on lies?
"Who will be held accountable for the deaths of over 655,000 innocent Iraqi civilians during the course of this illegal war?
"Where is the two trillion dollars that this war is going to cost coming from?
"When will Congress be held accountable for having voted to go to war?Â
"When will Congress be held accountable for continuing to fund a war, and for abandoning our troops to a conflict that cannot be won militarily?"
