I mean, I would rather see us leave Iraq, but that will not happen, so they really need to re-deploy the troops from the urban areas. It is already dangerous over there, but I think it is really about to get far worse.

3. I've agreed with that plan from day one
It makes a lot of sense. And it seems like it can be done quickly too.

4. 1-888-818-6641 Cap Switchboard - SUPPORT MURTHA RESOLUTION
CALL JACK MURTHA'S OFFICE 1-888-818-6641

He's the ONLY person in Congress with a resolution to redeploy troops out of Iraq. Let him know you support his efforts.


Wednesday February 1, 2006
The Honorable George W. Bush
President of the United States of America
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington DC 20500


Dear Mr. President,

This March will mark the beginning of the 4th year of the war in Iraq. In contrast, U.S. involvement in WWI came to an end after 19 months. Victory in Europe was declared in WWII after 3 years 5 months. In the Korean War, a cease-fire was signed after 3 years and 1 month. But after more than three and a half years into the war in Iraq, your administration finally produced what is called a "Plan for Victory" in Iraq.

Iraq is not the center for the global war on terrorism. I believe Iraq has diverted our attention away from the fight against global terrorism and has depleted the required resources needed to wage an effective war. It is estimated that there are only about 750 to 1,000 al-Qaeda in Iraq. I believe the Iraqis will force them out or kill them after U.S. troops are gone. In fact, there is now evidence that Iraqi insurgent groups are increasingly turning against al-Qaeda and other foreign terrorists.

Redeploy, Replace, Reallocate, and Reconstitute.
