Dear Carole,
Demand a firm deadline to redeploy our troops from Iraq!
Last November, the American people spoke loudly and clearly at the polls,
demanding an end to our engagement in Iraq. In recent months, as the violence
in Iraq has continued unabated, that public outcry has only increased.
Unfortunately, President Bush has already announced that he will veto the
emergency spending supplemental for Iraq that recently passed the Senate --
legislation that includes a withdrawal deadline of March 2008.
While it is critically important that we give our men and women in uniform
the tools and resources they need for their day-to-day operations, it is also
vital that we set a firm withdrawal deadline. We can't give President Bush
another blank check to continue this war without end. It's time for
accountability and a safe and responsible end to the war so the Iraqi people
can assume responsibility for their own country.
The war plans that have gotten us into the middle of this civil war were not
written by our soldiers. They were written by the White House. It's time to
start taking our troops out of this mess.
That is why I am proud to sign on as a co-sponsor of legislation my Senate
colleagues Russ Feingold and Harry Reid introduced this week that would end the
current military mission in Iraq and begin the redeployment of U.S. forces. I
hope that you will join me in co-sponsoring Senator Feingold's important
legislation at his website now:
http://ga1.org/campaign/iraq0407_pl
The Feingold/Reid/Leahy bill requires President Bush to begin to safely
redeploy U.S. troops from Iraq 120 days from enactment. Our legislation ends
funding for the war on March 31st, 2008, and after that date the President can
only spend money in Iraq for three very limited functions: training Iraqi
troops, targeted operations against al Qaeda and other international terrorist
organizations, and defending U.S. personnel and infrastructure. Most
importantly, this bill provides funding and support for our troops in the
field, while denying funds for continuing the war in Iraq.
Since the Democratic Congressional majorities were sworn in last January, we
have consistently charted a way to end our involvement in this Iraqi civil war.
The American people want a way out of this foreign policy disaster, and I hope
that the President will reconsider his recent threat to veto the supplemental
spending bill.
However, if President Bush does veto the supplemental, we are ready to
express the will of the American people in setting a firm deadline for
withdrawing our combat troops from Iraq. To do that, we need to show the depth
of public support for a withdrawal deadline -- and that is why I hope you will
join me in supporting the Feingold/Reid/Leahy bill now:
http://ga1.org/campaign/iraq0407_pl
For far too long, President Bush and his Administration have been given a
blank check to pursue a failed strategy in Iraq. But those days are over.
Congress will no longer simply trust that the Administration's policy will lead
to a successful conclusion of our engagement in Iraq.
If President Bush insists on vetoing the emergency supplemental which sets a
firm withdrawal deadline and gives the troops the resources they need for their
ongoing operations, then -- with your support -- we will exercise the power of
the purse and take the next step in ending the War in Iraq by sending the
Feingold/Reid/Leahy bill to the President's desk.
That's why I'm asking for your help today. Please sign on as a citizen
co-sponsor of the Feingold/Reid/Leahy bill at Senator Feingold's website now!
http://ga1.org/campaign/iraq0407_pl
Sincerely,
Patrick Leahy
U.S. Senator
