Support the Peace Plan That Brings Iraq Troops Home!
Target: George W. Bush, PresidentSponsored by: American Respect
Since our invasion of Iraq acts of terrorism around the world have increased by over 100%. No number of troops can solve this problem.
But Senator Joesph Biden, along with Leslie Gelb, President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, have proposed a five-point plan that would bring peace to region without deploying more U.S. troops.
The only way to hold Iraq together and create the conditions that allow our armed forces to responsibly withdraw is to give Shiites, Sunnis, and Kurds incentives to pursue their interests peacefully and to forge a sustainable political settlement. To accomplish this, President Bush should endorse the Biden-Gelb five-point plan, which would:
TELL PRESIDENT BUSH TO SUPPORT SENATOR BIDEN'S FIVE-POINT PLAN FOR PEACE, NOT THE DEPLOYMENT OF MORE TROOPS TO IRAQ!

To accomplish this, President Bush should endorse the Biden-Gelb five-point plan, which would:
- Maintain a unified Iraq by decentralizing it in to regions. A central government would be left in charge of common interests.
- Guarantee Sunnis a proportionate share of oil revenue so that each group has an incentive to maximize oil production, making oil the glue that binds the country together.
- Create a massive jobs program while increasing reconstruction aid -- especially from the oil-rich Gulf states -- but tying it to the protection of minority rights.
- Hold an international conference that would produce a regional nonaggression pact and create a Contact Group to enforce regional commitments.
- Begin the phased redeployment of U.S. forces and withdraw most of them by the end of 2007.

This is not our (the citizens of the United States) war. It's a war begun and promoted by the oil industry, including the nation of Saudi Arabia. Our troops have no place in Iraq nor should they go into Iran. Bring them home now. That's the best way to support them.

Our troops should have never been sent in the first place! Iraq was not the problem - rather Osama Bin Laden who is hiding out in Afghanistan, and instead of zeroing in on Iraq, Bush should have paid close attention to North Korea and Iran and taken steps to improve our safety and security at home!

The president and administration have no plan to win the "war" and it is another Vietnam all over again and we need a plan to end the occupation.

We are into a no-win situation thanks to "Dubya's" greed. This war's purpose was to drive up the price of oil, so his family could reap huge profits. Follow the money.

Bush's idea of "supporting the troop" is to leave them to be maimed and slaughtered for a war brought to us on a plate of lies and with a botched and horrible delivery by Rumsfeld into the hands of Al Qaeda and other extremeists.
