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.
Sincerely,
Senator Tom Harkin
