Barack Obama: My Plan for Iraq

Senator Barack Obama outlined his plan to end the war in Iraq in the pages of the New York Times:

In this campaign, there are honest differences over Iraq, and we should discuss them with the thoroughness they deserve. Unlike Senator McCain, I would make it absolutely clear that we seek no presence in Iraq similar to our permanent bases in South Korea, and would redeploy our troops out of Iraq and focus on the broader security challenges that we face. But for far too long, those responsible for the greatest strategic blunder in the recent history of American foreign policy have ignored useful debate in favor of making false charges about flip-flops and surrender.

It’s not going to work this time. It’s time to end this war.

Update: Senator Obama will be in Washington, D.C. to deliver a "major policy address" on Iraq and national security.
