100 Years in Iraq?
Category: News and Politics
Dear Friends,
Council for a Livable World, a progressive organization working on foreign policy issues, has always been one of my strongest advocates in adopting sensible national security policies.
When the Senate voted last year to set a deadline for withdrawal of American military forces from Iraq, Council for a Livable World was a critical ally, working with Senate leaders to put an end to the tragic and misguided war in Iraq.
Almost five years into this disastrous war, President Bush, his Republican allies and Iraqi officials are talking about occupying Iraq for another decade - or even longer.
Click here to join Council for a Livable World in rejecting the permanent presence of U.S. troops in Iraq.
The American public wants the United States out of Iraq, but President Bush refuses to listen.
When asked on January 11th if the U.S. presence in Iraq would continue for another ten years, President Bush responded "It could easily be that. Absolutely."
The Iraqi defense minister agreed a few days later, saying that Iraq would need American help to defend its own borders until at least 2018.
According to Council for a Livable World, keeping just one third of our current troop levels in Iraq through 2018 pushes the cost of the war to over $1 trillion. And many, many more American and Iraqi lives lost.
Please join me by clicking here to support Council for a Livable World in their fight today.
Sincerely,
Russ Feingold
United States Senator
Honorary Chair, Patriots Progressive Fund

Level up: 49%, 194 Points needed | | Last thing we should do is cut and run on the Iraqi people. We own it to them to finnish what we started, not leave them to the terrorists. When Iraq is secure, then we will leave. Anything short of that would be a totaly irresponcible. But then, most liberals want Iraq to fail. | |

Do you REALLY think that people of a politically liberal mindset want others to fail at gaining freedom?
