Abstract:
A precipitous withdrawal of U.S. support would have disastrous results for Iraq, its neighbors, and U.S. national interests. The Administration needs to complete the training of Iraqi security forces, support Iraq's new democratic government, and eventually turn the future of Iraq over to the only people who can ensure long-term success--the Iraqis.
