Congressman Kucinich called Wednesday for cutting off funding of the Iraq war, as the surest way out of Iraq. His statements were made in an interview by Democracy Now!'s Amy Goodman.

"I want to say that there's one solution here, and it's not to engage in a debate with the President, who has taken us down a path of disaster in Iraq, but it's for Congress to assume the full power that it has under the Constitution to cut off funds. We don't need to keep indulging in this debate about what to do, because as long as we keep temporizing, the situation gets worse in Iraq.

Yammering about about the notion isn't the same as doing the deed, but the door has been opened.

Don't give up yet my friend. I don't have a post done on it yet but it's sounding to me like W's going to send in more troops before any sort of withdrawal. I'll get a post up at my place soon, but for right now the bigger news is that Mad Jack "Semper I" Murtha just got his ass kicked in the House Majority Leader election.
