DescriptionSen. Elizabeth Dole said today she would support the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, as long as it was based on ground conditions and had the support of the military.
Dole, a long-time supporter of the war, said it was "reasonable" to have a phased withdrawal starting next year.

She said she liked the idea of "bringing troops out of the cities by 2009 and out of the country completely by 2011."

But Dole said any withdrawal would have to be "condition-based" because "you have to have faith on the generals on the ground."
