That’s the only way I can think of Dennis Kucinich after he was interviewed on Syrian TV. Among the most ludicrous things that he said was that the Iraq war is an illegal occupation”, that the United States should pay reparations to the Iraqi people, that Bashar Assad is interested in stabilizing Iraq. Give me a break.

Prior to today, I didn’t realize just how stupid Dennis Kucinich was. Check out this quote:

“The effort against Iraq was dishonest, or crooked from the beginning, and nothing good can come of it, except: The international community is needed to become involved and to put a peace-keeping and security force that can move in as the US that they must end the occupation, close the bases, bring the troops home. That’s the direction we must take. But we must understand that the policy was based on a lie.”

Other than the first Gulf War, when has the “international community” put together a peace-keeping force?

As foolish as that statement is, it isn’t the most foolish statement that he made. Here’s another gem:

Interviewer: So, you were talking about the moment of decision. When it’s time to withdraw George Bush sends in more troops - the “surge.” How do you find that? How useful was that surge?

Dennis Kucinich: I’ve repeatedly challenged the thinking behind the surge. What I have said in offering a plan to our Congress, embodied in a resolution known as House Resolution 1234, is that the United States must end the occupation, close the bases, bring the troops home, but we must have a parallel political process that reaches out to the international community, with the help of Syria and Iran, that would bring an international peace-keeping force, move it in as our troops, so there is no vacuum. That’s the beginning…it’s not the whole plan…but that’s the beginning of a plan. Certainly, increasing the occupation with a surge is counter-productive. It can only result in more deaths.

Inviting Syria and Iran to be part of the peace-keeping force is stupid enough but to think that they’ll prevent a vacuum from forming is the embodiment of silliness. We’re fighting to prevent the Iranians from having any influence in Iraq. This idiot wants to invite them in to destabilize Iraq. The worst part is that he thinks they’ll help stabilize Iraq.

Almost everything that Rep. Kucinich said is either foolish or outright stupid. To get the full measure of his ideas, you must read the transcript.
