Harkin calls for troop pullout in Iraq


DES MOINES, Iowa Senator Tom Harkin has called for the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq, saying it's the only solution after recent religious violence in that nation.

The Iowa Democrat says Iraq is now in a civil war. He says American withdrawal should begin immediately to--quote--"extricate ourselves from that quagmire over there."

Harkin's comments place him among the first members of Congress to publicly state that the war in Iraq has become a fight between Muslim factions.
