No Permanent Presence in Iraq

When the Bush Administration launched its attack on Iraq in 2003, it assured the American public that the war would be quick, cheap and easy. Five years into this disastrous war, both Bush and Iraqi officials are talking about occupying Iraq for another decade - or even longer.

Withdrawing our military from Iraq, while helping rebuild Iraq and assisting refugees, is the just and honorable solution to an unjust war. We reject the idea of committing the United States to a long-term occupation in Iraq, and ask our elected officials to quickly and safely bring our American troops home.
