WASHINGTON — A US lawmaker fiercely opposed to NATO’s role in the Libya conflict called Tuesday for the alliance’s military chiefs to be held to account under international law for the deaths of Libyan civilians.
“Otherwise we will have witnessed the triumph of a new international gangsterism,” Democratic Representative Dennis Kucinich, a leading opponent in the US Congress to Washington’s role in the fighting, said in a statement.
Kucinich said that NATO forces had flouted UN Security Council resolutions in acting as “the air force for the rebels, who could not have succeeded but for NATO’s attacks” and had “illegally pursued regime change.”
“NATO’s top commanders may have acted under color of international law but they are not exempt from international law,” he said, as rebels against Moamer Kadhafi captured the Libyan strongman’s fortified Tripoli compound.

His constituents? He’s a liberal but that doesn’t shield my eyes and ears from the truth irregardless of the source’s political affiliation. Patrick J. Buchanan, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Ron Paul, former Congresspersons Cynthia McKinney, Bob Barr and Jim Traficant, I respect all of their opinions. Funny how this bipartisan collection has seen their appearances on network TV news curtailed in recent years. Oh, I see, just like Ron Paul, the media will determine who in congress is influential and who is not.
Is that it???
Only one man unwilling to turn the other cheek???
I hope that Dennis Kucinich can get this ball rolling…who will help this man???

Dennis Kucinich is lying two faced media whore that sold the American people out for a ride on air force one. That pile of shit has run Cleveland Ohio so far in the ground that almost no one lives there except the entitlement poor people. Those that work in Cleveland, live out of town.
It is only because his welfare constituents that he keeps voted back into office.
Dennie Kucinich is the ball scrapings of a flea infested cockroach.

Congressman Kucinich had a bout of conscience. He was outspoken until Obama took him on that Air Force One ride. Perhaps the Obama hypnosis is wearing off. All those Congress people who go along with those NWO plans better realize when the plan is complete they will be obsolete. It is US and THEM-there is NO YOU in the NWO equation.

No, he’s one of them. He has to put on a front he’s for the people so he occasionally throws us a bone.
Defintely, Obama, NATO and al qaeda are the new terrorists on the block,
with their support groups: FBI, Homeland Security, Secret Service, ATF
and the American people have to pay for all this while Obama, his 40 car caravan, and entourage of secret service goons live like freaking kings…
So there’s ONE congressperson calling these attacks by their true name? Where’s the rest of ‘em?
We really have fallen so far down — most Americans are either brainwashed by television and media or spaced-out on drugs and medications I don’t think they have a freaking clue just how illegal this shit is. You don’t just start bombing other countries and then spin it as some rescue mission as if we are the good guys. But sadly people buy into this crap.
Congressman Kucinich: NATO must account for Libyan deaths
————————————————————————–
Here are his views on things.
1. Support for reinstating the Fairness Doctrine
Kucinich is also involved in efforts to bring back the Fairness Doctrine, requiring radio stations to give liberal and conservative points of view equal time, which he and other critics of talk radio argue is not presently the case. Fellow Democrat Maurice Hichney, Vermont’s independent Senator Bernie Sanders, and others have joined him in this effort.[108] Conservatives have criticized these plans, alleging that what they believe to be a liberal-dominated Hollywood, academia, new media, and mainstream media would not be subject to these regulations.[109][110][111]
2. Plan to ban handguns
In the aftermath of the Virginia Tech massacre in Blacksburg, Virginia, Kucinich proposed a plan that he says would address violence in America. Kucinich is currently drafting legislation that includes a ban on the purchase, sale, transfer, or possession of handguns by civilians.[106]
The congressman has pushed for gun control, even as a city councilman. He kept a pistol in his house for a period in 1978 (under the recommendation of the police) when he was the target of a Mafia plot. He no longer keeps the pistol.[107]
3.Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich has bowed to intense pressure, culminating in a jaunt onboard Air Force One with president Obama, and decided to to flip his vote on the pending health care bill to help ensure its passage.
The representative from Ohio has repeatedly voiced his opposition to the bill, calling it “a giveaway to the insurance industry”.
“The fact is that one out of every three health care dollars goes for corporate profits, stocks options, executive salaries, advertising, marketing, the cost of paperwork – this bill doesn’t change that.” he said.
This piece of shit “blows” with the wind.
