Mr. Speaker, the United States must begin to present an exit strategy in Iraq. Bombing the villages to save the villages is not an exit strategy. It is absolutely horrific that as many as 100,000 innocent civilians may have perished in Iraq. Stopping troops who have served their tour of duty from returning to their families is not an exit strategy. Expanding house-to-house fighting across Iraq is not an exit strategy.

“The United States must develop an exit strategy in Iraq. It must bring our troops home, and we must seek a new relationship with the United Nations to help make this possible.

“In the weeks ahead, I will join with other Members of the House in expanding this discussion. We have a new Congress coming up. We have to take new directions. And we can start by discussing a new direction for Iraq that will result in the United States getting out, bringing our troops home and reestablishing our relationship with the world.”

1. Great statement, as usual.

I was just wondering this morning;

Do we know how many people have died, US, Iraqi, and other, as a result of this war?

4. Very consistent with previous statements because Dennis comes with

"no strings attached".

[IndianaGreen]

5. and Dennis voted AGAINST IWR

no flip flops here!

[no name no slogan]

6. Dennis is still there, speaking the truth

If only more congresscritters on both sides of the aisle had listened to him back in 2002.

We're there now, but we shouldn't be. And we need to get out as soon as possible. Destroying every city in Iraq will NOT solve the problem. Getting out may not solve every problem, but it will do more good than harm.
