At the Take Back America Conference on Monday, progressive candidates, including Donna Edwards, Democratic nominee from Maryland, announced the release of “A Responsible Plan to End the War in Iraq”, a plan designed to change the debate on Iraq and national security in Washington and across the country. Donna Edwards (MD-4), Darcy Burner (WA-8), Chellie Pingree (ME-1), and Jared Polis (CO-2) were joined by Generals Paul Eaton and John Johns; the group stressed that a new, multi-faceted approach to Iraq is long overdue and that action can and must be taken immediately.
“The United States has been in Iraq for 5 years now; 3,988 honorable servicemen and women are dead; over 29,000 are injured; as many as 1 million Iraqis are dead; and there is still no legitimate end in sight,” said Donna Edwards, Democratic nominee for Maryland’s 4th Congressional District. “This Administration and its Congressional allies continue to enable the war and defy the will of the American people who demand that a new path be forged. I join military and political leaders in calling for all possible military, diplomatic, and economic strategies to bring an end to the war while protecting American interests. When we enter Congress we will be clear about the expectations of the American people to embark immediately on a responsible plan to end this debacle in Iraq.”
