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.

The Believe the Troops in Iraq should come home i belive in my opinion that war is outdated and that with new technology and this time being a cmmunication era. Having new inventions to allow us to communicate i belive they should be put into good use i also belive we as in the world should be able to settle things in a more sophisticated manner in whic communicating is a wonderful way to settle problems and not just jumping into war i think that its important think before we respond.. and i belive we dont need to fight for peace that doesnt go together there are other ways to solve problems. i believe its time for war to be over and the troops to be brought home

Senator Biden has been a consistent voice of reason; had he been listened to we would not be in this present quagmire

I will support it but people need to remember al-qeuda and other terrorists groups are just waiting to take the country over when we leave which they will use to train new recruites and attack other countries and the United States will be one of their biggest targets.

"President" Bush is killing too many innocent people, Iraqis and Americans. None of us civilians asked for this war, and most of us don't understand it. Stop killing people.

Biden's plan is better than what W and his cronies are doing, but it would be even better to bring the citizens of America home today. Debating the issue only results in more people dieing. Click on the link, "bring them home now" at www.bobcooks.com for more insight.

I will support any kind of effort that stimulates action against Bush and Cheney's warprofiteering. We also need to get something going with regards to the future invasion of Iran. Bush and Cheney are heading down this path, and I, as an American who pays taxes, has served his country, and votes regularly, stand behind any legislation that makes it a crime for this president to invade anymore countries without the consent and backing of the American people. Finally, I say start the impeachment process against Bush AND Cheney for their lying to the American people resulting in the death of thousands of innocent people. One more thing: GET RID OF GONZALES TOO! Sincerely, John Becker

My son was there from day 1, with the USMC, for a year. He is broken,physically and mentally. Many of his friends are dead, including 1 from suicide AFTER returning home. Enough is enough! How many more lives have to be shattered to quench your blood thirst?
