Changing Direction in Iraq

The current strategy in Iraq has failed -- we are in our sixth year of the war with no plan to win the peace and bring our brave troops home.  Congress must work with the generals on the ground to pursue a responsible redeployment strategy, with benchmarks for success that force the Iraqis to stand on their own.  In Congress, I will ensure that we have both the strategy and the accountability to bring our troops home as soon as possible and to honor them for their service.
