| Description | Some of the recommendations from the Iraq Study Group sound especially familiar to U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry, D-Mass., who campaigned on many of them when he ran for president two years ago.
“The report underscores what many of us have long been arguing: There is no military solution to our deep problems in Iraq,” Mr. Kerry said Wednesday after the report was released. He said the focus should be on a report that spotlights the futility of the current Iraq policy and deserves the attention of the White House.
For example, the report calls for the withdrawal of nearly all U.S. combat troops from Iraq by early 2008. While Mr. Kerry was far from alone in advocating such a timetable, he was talking about it during the 2004 presidential campaign. On Wednesday, he lamented only that the study committee recommendation did not include a deadline. |
