Dennis Kucinich has always been a little weird and I have tried to always give him the benefit of the doubt. But, that has all come to an end with his latest lunacy on a trip to visit the dictator of Syria.
US Democratic hopeful Kucinich meets Assad, blasts Bush
US Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich, on a Mideast visit that included a stop in Syria, said the country lambasted by the Bush administration deserves credit for taking in more than a million Iraqi refugees.
Kucinich, a strong anti-war opponent who trails far in the US presidential polls, also said he won’t visit Iraq on his trip to the region because he considers the US military deployment there illegal.
“I feel the United States is engaging in an illegal occupation … I don’t want to bless that occupation with my presence,” he said in an interview in Lebanon, after visiting Syria. “I will not do it.”
Kucinich, who accused the Bush administration of policies that have destabilized the Mideast, met with Syrian President Bashar Assad during his visit to Damascus. He said Assad was receptive to his ideas of “strength through peace.”
Yet another democrat bashing the United States on foreign soil in a time of war. My blood boils.
