Kucinich: Bankers partied as economic crisis hit

Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), an outspoken critic of the Iraq occupation and the recent cash infusions into failing banks, sat down with Dina Gusovsky of Russia Today to discuss the state of the nation and extend a hand of friendship to Russia.

"The United States economy is in deep trouble," he opened. "It's in deep trouble because we have permitted banks to go unregulated, we have engaged in deep deficit spending for war that was totally unnecessary. The war against Iraq should have never been prosecuted."

"Our whole way of life is changing," the Congressman said, with the country spending over $600 billion a year on the military at the same time people are losing their homes, jobs, pensions, and retirements. "It clearly calls for a totally new approach."

Interesting, I like that he speaks out against the games played by Brzezinski & Co,

And I was surprised that the New York Times had a critical article on Georgia and who started the war. I wasn't expecting journalism from them, although it was a bit late.

Georgia Claims on Russia War Called Into Question

TBILISI, Georgia — Newly available accounts by independent military observers of the beginning of the war between Georgia and Russia this summer call into question the longstanding Georgian assertion that it was acting defensively against separatist and Russian aggression.

Instead, the accounts suggest that Georgia’s inexperienced military attacked the isolated separatist capital of Tskhinvali on Aug. 7 with indiscriminate artillery and rocket fire, exposing civilians, Russian peacekeepers and unarmed monitors to harm.
