Afghanistan Surge: ‘Reverse the Modern Day Roman Empire Trend of Destruction’ -Kucinich

Representative Kucinich plans to submit two resolutions as soon as congress comes back in January to attempt to use the War Powers Act to withdraw all US troops and military contractors from Iraq and Afghanistan.

“We’re acting like a latter-day version of the Roman Empire ...while inside we rot.,” Ohio Congressman, Dennis Kucinich, recently told Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!, while voicing his opposition to the troop buildup in Afghanistan.

“I think that all those who really support this President, who really like him—and I like him—need to challenge him on this,” said Mr Kucinich.
