Tell Clinton, Obama, and Edwards to Produce an Out-of-Iraq Plan for 2009
Last week Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid postponed votes on Bush's $190 Billion demand until January. They snuck through a Continuing Resolution with at least $14 billion for Iraq and $70 billion more in a Pentagon "bridge fund" if Iraq appropriations are delayed. This gives us more time to tell Congress: Cut all Iraq funds except to bring our troops home.

During the Democratic Presidential debate at Dartmouth College on 9/26/07, the candidates gave their timetables for getting all U.S. troops out of Iraq.

Kucinich: 4/09
Richardson: 1/10
Dodd: 1/13
Edwards: will keep 3,500 to 5,000 troops to protect the U.S. Embassy and humanitarian workers
Clinton: will keep combat and Special Operations Forces to fight Al Qaeda
Obama: will keep troops to protect our embassy and civilians and for counterterrorism
Biden: keep troops only for peacekeeping

3. None of them are saying that Al-Qaeda
is not in Iraq. They all agree that they are there.
