Kucinich Demands Attention, Give it to Him!
Agency charged with spending oversight in Iraq left country in '04 leaving what experts say are gaps in the oversight of how more than $140 billion is being spent.
The issue is likely to be discussed at a hearing Tuesday of the national security subcommittee of the House Government Reform Committee.
"Inspectors general play a vital role in ensuring that taxpayers' funds are used properly," said Rep. Dennis Kucinich,
the ranking Democrat on the subcommittee. "
The fact that the DOD has not had an IG on the ground in Iraq for at least six months raises serious questions about the DOD's priorities and their ability to handle the war spending in an honest and transparent way."
This past weekend, Kucinich said something else. At a gathering of several hundred progressive activists in Denver,
Kucinich said that if the Democrats nominate a pro-war candidate in 2008, he will not support them.
Thank You!
