Rep. Dennis Kucinich discusses his letter to Congress, “War Machine Beats the Drums for War with Iran, Uses Iraq Play Book;” the propaganda efforts that convinced a majority of Americans war with Iran is a good idea; why we need to “stand strong for peace” and spend tax dollars to rebuild America, not squander them in another foreign war; and Kucinich’s Democratic challenger for Congress in Ohio’s new 9th District.

This interview is from the KPFK 90.7 FM Los Angeles broadcast of June 17th. Rep. Dennis Kucinich discusses his attempt to provoke debate in Congress about where the ultimate authority to declare war rightfully belongs; voting to de-fund the Libya War; his lawsuit that seeks a judicial declaration on the Obama administration’s unconstitutional and illegal actions in Libya; and the moral, legal and economic reasons why America’s “global cop” role should end ASAP.
