Kucinich Delegates Fail To Revise Dem Platform on Iraq

HeadlineJul 12, 2004

Kucinich delegates called for the party to endorse the quick withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and for the party to state that the war in Iraq was a mistake. Instead the platform continues to reads “people of good will disagree about whether America should have gone to war in Iraq.”
