Cardin wants quick withdrawal from Iraq

Rep. Ben Cardin called on President Bush Monday to start bringing troops home from Iraq immediately at a pace of 10,000 a month so that all would be home by the end of next year.

“The Bush administration has mismanaged this war from Day 1 and the American people have paid a heavy price,” said Cardin, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate and a 10-term congressman who opposed the authorization of the war.
