How you compare
Cynthia McKinney shares a 81% similarity with your beliefs on Iraq and Foreign Policy
I support setting a withdrawal timetable for US troops to leave Iraq
"In 2006, I voted no on declaring Iraq part of War on Terror with no exit date. I consistently opposed every regular and supplemental appropriation meant to fund the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq."

"We ought to demand an immediate withdrawal from Iraq. I voted for that while I was in Congress. But the problem is not just Iraq--the problem is the militaristic turn that our foreign policy has taken. So I wouldn't just say bring home the troops from Iraq, but bring home, period, from all over the world."
Voted NO on declaring Iraq part of 'War on Terror' with no exit date
I oppose the increase in US troop levels in Iraq which has been ongoing throughout 2007
"Two years ago we gathered all across America to say no to war. We were joined by people all over the planet who know that there is an alternative to war. But war is about the only option available when the real motive is to steal natural resources that belong to someone else... The American people, and our children over there fighting, still haven't been told the real reason the US is at war with the Iraqi people. And against the people the US war machine has turned. Thousands of Iraqis, especially children, have been killed by our sanctions and our bombs. This is an immoral and illegal war and we need to bring our troops home now."
I strongly oppose the US having a long-term presence in Iraq
Those of us who oppose the war, who believe that all U.S. troops should be withdrawn and the network of permanent bases in Iraq dismantled, have only two options in the coming presidential elections—Ralph Nader and Cynthia McKinney.
"Not only do we need an immediate, orderly withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan, we need an end to the militarism that has placed US troops on the soil of over 100 countries."
I oppose the use of military force unilaterally
From McKinney's 2006 Articles of Impeachment: "In direct violation of Articles 41 and 42 of the United Nations Charter, a treaty ratified by the United States Senate in 1945 and therefore the supreme law of the land as according to Article VI of the Constitution, George Walker Bush has advanced and executed a policy based on so-called pre-emptive or preventive war, whereby the United States of America claims the right to unilaterally assault, invade or occupy other nations without first engaging in collective measures with other member states of the United Nations or first gaining the prior assent of the United Nations Security Council."
Supports H. Con. Res. 473 which warns that unilateral United States military action against Iraq "may undermine cooperative international efforts to reduce international terrorism and to bring to justice those responsible for the attacks of September 11, 2001." The proposed resolution goes on that "unilateral United States military action against Iraq may also undermine United States diplomatic relations with countries throughout the Arab and Muslim world and with many other allies." H. Con. Res. 473 also says a "preemptive unilateral United States first strike could both set a dangerous international precedent and significantly weaken the United Nations as an institution."
