Kucinich Calls for Cutting Off Iraq War Funds

"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.

How do we explain this to those who have served, those who have sacrificed, and those who have lost loved ones? Who would ever enlist in the military after we have desecrated the honor of those we have placed in harms way? Right mission, wrong mission, it is the mission and those that have sacrificed deserve our remaining steadfast in our support of them and their efforts.
