Good for him. I think it would send a powerful message if the full senate put aside their partisan difference and got behind a responsible course in Iraq to at least to all we can to mitigate the failure.

1. Respectfully, I disagree. I am with Kucinich -
The American people did not vote for the Iraq Study Group (filled with CIA, neocons and fake Democrats like Lee Hamilton) -- we voted for a new direction: OUT!

Not enough. Not even close. The Iraqi people want us out. I am sick of the U.S. discussing the issue as if Iraq is a rebellious child we can send to another room while we make a decision.

:thumbsdown:

My general take on this: The U.S. has tasered Iraq and is now yelling "Stand Up! Stand Up or you'll get tasered again!"

:(

2. The Iraqi people want us to leave as soon a possible without leaving chaos.
An important qualifier.
