Reply #6: Yep, A Very Clear Path on Iraq

[sandnsea]

I really wish we would have rallied behind the Home for the Holidays campaign so we could have forced Bush to implementing a strategy to end the war and bring our troops home.

"..At the first benchmark, the completion of the December elections, we can start the process of reducing our forces by withdrawing 20,000 troops over the course of the holidays...

"The Administration must immediately give Congress and the American people a detailed plan for the transfer of military and police responsibilities on a sector by sector basis to Iraqis so the majority of our combat forces can be withdrawn...

"our large military presence “feeds the notion of occupation” and “extends the amount of time that it will take for Iraqi security forces to become self-reliant.”
