I have dedicated my life to peace.\u00a0<\/strong>As a member of Congress I led efforts to avert conflict and end wars in countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Syria and Iran.\u00a0And yet those of us who work for peace are put under false scrutiny to protect Washington\u2019s war machine.<\/strong>\u00a0Those who undermine our national security by promoting military attacks and destroying other nations are held up as national leaders to admire.<\/p>\n

Recently Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and I took a Congressional Ethics-approved fact finding trip to Lebanon and Syria,<\/strong>\u00a0where we visited Aleppo and refugee camps, and met with religious leaders, governmental leaders and people from all sides of the conflict, including political opposition to the Syrian government.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Since that time we have been under constant attack on false grounds.<\/strong>The media and the war establishment are\u00a0desperate to keep hold of their false narrative for world-wide war, interventionism and regime change<\/strong>, which is a profitable business for Washington insiders and which impoverishes our own country.<\/p>\n

Today, Rep. Gabbard came\u00a0under attack yet again by the Washington Post\u2019s Josh Rogin who has been on a tear trying to ruin the reputations of the people and the organization who sponsored our humanitarian, fact-finding mission of peace to the Middle East<\/strong><\/u>. Rogin just claimed in a tweet that as community organization I have been associated with for twenty years does not exist.<\/p>\n

The organization is in my neighborhood. Here\u2019s photos I took yesterday of AACCESS-Ohio\u2019s marquee.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It clearly exists, despite the base, condescending assertions of Mr. Rogin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enough of this dangerous pettiness. Let\u2019s dig in to what is really going on, inside Syria, in the State Department, the CIA and the Pentagon.<\/p>\n
