Hasn't he been saying this for years already?

Well I would think that with things are now that he has a little more pull.

My question is would this cut off food supplies and ammo?

I think the idea is not 'stop feeding the troops.' It's more along the lines of giving the president no choice but to bring them home, through the only way Congress is able. I think it's sneaky, but possibly a good idea. (And besides, the troops themselves are not well-funded anyway. Remember that they had to buy their own body armor?)

Completely cutting off the funds is just retarded. They wouldn't actually have the money to bring them home...We're in Iraq. If we leave Iraq, we're fucked, if we stay in Iraq, bad shits gonna happen.

Right now, the last thing we need is a drastic measure.

Out of curiosity, what would you suggest? (I am genuinely curious, because I don't have a clue what they should do)

Kucinich is an extreme left-wing idealogue. Nobody really takes him seriously. He doesn't need to address specifics of what would/wouldn't be funded under this plan because even he knows he's just blathering. Politicians like to get elected. Good idea or not, voting to take away funding from troops in active combat, whatever the circumstance, is a good way to ensure imminent political retirement for just about any congressman.

This guy is a partisan lighning rod.

I think the only solution is a slow and steady withdrawal of troops, but given the determination of violence in that region -with or without our presence- that would only delay the inevitable. But hey, why not delay the chaos to give us time to duck and cover?

Nocal: We need to accelerate the process of getting our troops out. What does that mean? Even I don't really know. Train more Iraqi's to perform their own security? Kill all the Muslim extremists, high five each other and fly home? I honestly don't know. We're stuck there for a while. The last thing we need though is to pull out immediately and let the fragile political structure we have in place collapse -- and then all of a sudden Iraq will become like Iran on steroids...

We could use a friendly government in Iraq. At least a semi-cooperative one. There is no amount of isolationism that will save us from being the target of Muslim extremists at this point. NONE. We can maybe prevent some of the crazy shit they do however, by ensuring that their non-crazy cousins have a say in the Iraqi government.

Nixon said, 'Withdrawl in disgust is not the same as apathy.'

From one marmot to another: Nixon was a giant asshole. Also, who is talking about apathy? I'm talking about not creating a new homebase for extremists by pulling out and leaving a fucking huge power vaccume.

Yanking the whole kit and kaboodle out at one shot is plain foolish.
It's pretty standard pseudo-insane, definitely radical, rhetoric to get the ball rolling, to actually START doing something to remedy the Iraq debacle, to actually formulate a plan, to pull what can be pulled outta the fire.
It's not the rubble that covered the NYC streets on Sept.12, yet, and something viable can still be pulled out of it, if they'd get their well financailly cushioned asses in gear, and stop with that preposterous 'stay the course' nonesense.
Personally, the country that WAS isn't any more. It might be best to let THEM set up something new, something THEY are familiar with, rather than the way that maybe a hundred, or even a thousand, well placed international western movers and shakers WANT them to do it.
BushCo and his allies have proved that they don't believe in the same methodology, or even ideology, political OR religious, that the Iraqis do.
It's fucking things up WAY beyond the Iraqi borders.

' It's fucking things up WAY beyond the Iraqi borders.'

Which was the intent. To destabilize the region and create more anti-American sentiment.

'Yer doin' a heckuva job, Bushie!'

Bury some nukes in arab-land and booby trap them. Wait for it...

BOOM!

misson accomplished.
