The Democrat said Wednesday that he would introduce the articles on January 28, the day US President George W. Bush is scheduled to deliver his State of the Union speech.
«We already know the State of the Union,» Kucinich said. «It’s a lie!»
«[The] Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003,» the 61-year-old congressman quoted the Center for Public Integrity’s recently released report on Washington lies prior to the Iraq invasion.
«In short, the [US] president and the vice president [Dick Cheney] lied and four-thousand of our soldiers died,» Kucinich said during his speech in the United States House of Representatives.
«The president and the vice president lied and a million innocent Iraqis died in a war that has cost us 2 trillion dollars, when people here in the States are losing their jobs, their healthcare, their homes, their dignity,» he continued.
«If impeachment is off the table, then the truth is off the table. If the truth is off the table, this House will be living a lie,» he exclaimed.
Kucinich’s statements wreaked havoc on the House floor; Republicans strongly voiced their objection to his remarks.
Florida’s Republican congressman, Cliff Stearns, termed Kucinich’s statements a ‘clear and egregious violation of House rules’.
«Kucinich used the House floor to launch a personal attack against President Bush and Vice President Cheney and accused them of lying to the American people,» Stearns added.
Many Americans remain dissatisfied with the Iraq war, claiming it was launched with no justification other than ‘Bushite lies’. The US president and his top echelons invaded Iraq under the false pretext that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction.
