Do Democrats in Congress realize that consistent with the plans of General Petraeus and the Pentagon, the United States has begun to draw down our troops levels in Iraq?
This move makes plain that the administration has done what the Democrats have been demanding for months: change course. The United States has begun to implement a policy of sending U.S forces home as areas of Iraq are judged to be stable and secure. As Republican elected officials respond to Democratic calls for a ‘change in course,’ they should make clear that the drawdown the Democrats cried for has begun–the only sticking point is that we waited until our troops completed their mission. Now, when Democrats call for a ‘new course’ it can only mean departing before stability is achieved, at the risk of genocide and civil war.
