Kucinich Responds to Bush on Iraq

Dennis Kucinich issued a scathing response to the new plan for Iraq laid out by President Bush last week.

Calling the Bush Plan a strategy for a wider war in the region, Kucinich has said that the media should expose the real reason for the escalation.

Kucinich is suggesting that the real plan by the Bush Administration is to use any extra resources granted by Congress to make an attack on Iran.

Like other leading Democrats like Edwards and Obama, and Republican Chuck Hagel, Kucinich is calling for diplomacy to solve the problems in Iraq. He has also called for further talks with Syria and Iran to help secure peace in the region.
