Tom Harkin Dear Theresa J. , Earlier today the Senate cast votes on 3 separate amendments related to our continuing involvement in the civil war in Iraq. But only one of those amendments, the Feingold-Reid amendment, set a firm deadline for redeploying the bulk of our troops out of the civil war in Iraq by March 31, 2008. I was proud to vote for this amendment, which was based on legislation that I have cosponsored. The American people want a new way forward in Iraq, and the only way to do this is to set a firm timetable for redeployment. Only then will the Iraqi government take responsibility for its own future. Unfortunately, this amendment failed by a vote of 29-67. I am disappointed that the Senate ignored the overwhelming sentiment of the American people by voting to maintain the status quo. But this is not the end. Americans Iowans want an end to our involvement in this civil war. They know that our brave soldiers have served honorably and have brilliantly completed their mission. They know as the Iraq Study Group stated the conflict in Iraq now requires a political solution. While we didn't get what we wanted today, I want you to know I will continue to do everything in my power to change course in Iraq and bring our brave soldiers home. It's time to chart a new direction in Iraq, and I will continue my work in the Senate until that goal is achieved.
