The President's Iraq Plan is Recipe for an Endless War

The President's 10-year plan for the continued occupation of Iraq sends the wrong signal to the Iraqi government, which has failed to implement the reforms needed for national reconciliation.

Secretary Rice and General Abizaid's admission that we will be involved in Iraq for years to come is further acknowledgment that President Bush's Iraq policy has failed; it is a recipe for an endless war.

We need a New Direction that redeploys our troops from Iraq, rebuilds our military, and refocuses on fighting terrorism across the world.
