Out of Iraq in 2006 Bring our troops home!
"Tell the truth. Fire the incompetents. Get out of Iraq. Have health care for all Americans. These are pretty simple messages, and they're worth fighting for today."
That's what John Kerry said recently when he appeared on "Meet the Press" to push our call for an exit from Iraq.
Our soldiers have done their jobs. They can't resolve political differences between Iraqis in an escalating civil war. It can't be done militarily; it can't be done from a Humvee or a helicopter. It can only be accomplished by a dramatic change of course, turning away from George W. Bush's aimless "stay for as long as it takes" approach.
We want democracy in Iraq, but it's now the job of Iraqis to build it. Our troops have performed gallantly and heroically. The best way to keep faith with our troops is to set deadlines for bringing them home and getting Iraq on its own two feet. That's the only way to give their sacrifice its best chance of resulting in success.
Join John Kerry today in calling for the withdrawal of American combat troops by the end of 2006. Sign this petition to support John Kerrys Senate resolution for a timely withdrawal from Iraq.
Dear Senator,
I support John Kerrys Senate resolution for a timely withdrawal from Iraq.

I believe that American combat troops should come home from Iraq by the end of 2006 - not the distant future as President Bush does. And, if the Iraqi politicians choose to ignore that deadline, then I believe things will only get worse and we will have no choice but to withdraw immediately.
