The President proposes to reduce troop levels to the same levels as 2006, when Americans voted overwhelmingly for a new direction. This drawdown says nothing to the success of the surge or Bush’s policies, but rather reflects that our military is at a breaking point. It is clear that we must begin withdrawing now. Iraqis don’t want us there, Americans don’t want us there, and I will do everything in my power to stand up to the President and end this nightmare.
