A simple question. Is any candidate espousing total withdrawl
from Iraq as part of their platform suggestions?

Cause if there is, I have not seen one yet.

5. Kucinich: Bring our troops home now!
KUCINICH: BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW!

According to an Associated Press report, a helicopter carrying U.S. troops
was shot down in Iraq today, killing 15 and wounding 21 in the deadliest
strike against U.S. forces since the war began. Three other Americans
were reported killed in separate attacks today.

Presidential candidate Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich said:

"Iraq will not find peace or stability until the U.S. occupation ends.
For almost a month, I have promoted a plan to bring our troops home and
turn control of the transition over to the United Nations.

"The sons and daughters of the U.S. are dying in increasing numbers for
the benefit of war profiteers with close ties to the Bush Administration.
There was no basis for a war in Iraq. It was wrong to go in, and it's
wrong to stay in.

"No weapons of mass destruction have been found. We should not be
sacrificing the lives of our brave men and women for the profits of
Halliburton, Bechtel, and other corporate interests.

"This disastrous mission must be ended before any more lives are lost. It
is urgent for the United States to go to the U.N. with a new resolution
which contains the basis of an exit strategy. It is time to bring our
troops home. It is time to get the U.N. in and the U.S. out of Iraq."

Among the presidential candidates, only Congressman Kucinich has proposed
an exit strategy. It can be found at:
