US Congressman Dennis Kucinich on Al-Qaeda Flag Over Benghazi Courthouse

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPbXc78bOjw&feature=player_embedded

Transcript:

"Hi, Congressman Dennis Kucinich here. I just got off the phone with a very well-known talk show host from Cleveland, Mike Trivisonno, who told me about calls that he is getting from people who are concerned that there is an Al Qaeda flag flying over the courthouse in Benghazi in Libya. It was put there by the same group that we helped to oust the Gaddafi regime.

What is going on in America? On the one hand, we have soldiers dying in Afghanistan fighting Al Qaeda. On the other hand, we just helped a group of people take over Libya and the Al Qaeda flag is flying over their capital city headquarters.

What are we doing? It is time for America to get its story and its priorities straight about what we stand for as a nation. Its time to get out of all these wars and all of these conflicts where we think we can play both sides against the middle and it usually ends up with U.S. soldiers getting killed.

Its time to bring our troops home and take care of things here at home. As we approach Veteran's Day 2011, we should really honor those who serve by having a foreign policy that is straight. That speaks directly to the concerns of the American people. That is mindful of the fact that we can't tell the whole world what to do and we have an obligation to get our own house in order here at home and put people back to work."

America stands for Corruption now. All it stands for is how to make as much money as possible, regardless of any kind of human life.

In Libya the commanders that the US helped were supposedly reformed Al Qaeda commanders who learned the errors of their ways and now were reformed to want democracy.

I don't even want to start the rant.
