Dennis Kucinich: “the Defense bill contained a request for millions of dollars to retrofit B-2 Stealth bombers so they can carry…”

On the recordNovember 8, 2007
the Defense bill contained a request for millions of dollars to retrofit B-2 Stealth bombers so they can carry 30,000-pound bombs, bunker busters, which would be germane to the administration's intention of attacking Iran. Imagine for a moment 30,000-pound bombs dropped on nuclear research labs in Natanz and in Bushehr, and you have a humanitarian and ecological disaster on your hands. Now, the case for war against Iran is being built on lies, just as the case for war against Iraq was built on lies. Nearly 4,000 troops dead; nearly a million innocent Iraqis perished in the conflict; borrowing money from China to fight a war against Baghdad. It is time to impeach this Vice President for leading this country into a war that is so destructive of our national agenda. It is time for us to reclaim our Constitution and to reclaim the troops.

I am disappointed to say, however, that although the chairman claims we are pursuing this investigation on a 'bipartisan basis,' that has simply not been the case.
