| Iraq, a General Statement |
Dodd: Chris Dodd understands that making America more secure starts with ending the Iraq war responsibly. It’s made us less secure, more vulnerable and more isolated. Our country’s men and women in uniform have performed heroically – but George Bush’s policy has failed. But to end the war, we need clear, bold actions, and leadership that has the experience and judgment to recognize there’s only one way to responsibly end this war: To set a firm deadline tied to funding. It may not be an easy thing to say – but it’s the right thing to do. For our troops. For our security and standing in the world.

Dodd: Chris Dodd understands that ending the war in Iraq makes America safer. He strongly supports the Feingold-Reid proposal – the only responsible measure in Congress that sets a timetable to end the war in Iraq by March 31, 2008 – and he has urged all the candidates in the presidential race to join him. It is time to stand up to the President’s misguided Iraq policy.

| Deadline for US Pullout |
Dodd: Chris Dodd believes the time for giving President Bush blank checks is over and that we should begin safely redeploying U.S. combat troops out of Iraq, beginning immediately and completed within one year. Iraq must assume the responsibility of policing and governing itself. There isn’t an Army big enough or Treasury deep enough if Iraqis aren’t willing to fight for that for themselves. Based on the amendment he offered in the Senate with Senators Reid and Feingold, Chris Dodd’s plan would: Begin safely redeploying U.S. combat troops out of Iraq within 120 days, Provide every penny necessary for a safe redeployment of our troops Complete redeployment by April 30, 2008. In addition, Chris Dodd would insist on three narrowly targeted exceptions – the protection of U.S. personnel and infrastructure, specific counterterrorism operations, and assistance with the training and equipping of Iraqi forces. Chris Dodd understands prolonging this war will not make us more secure – ending it will.

| Troop Surge |
Dodd: Chris Dodd is strongly opposed to the Bush-Cheney troop surge strategy. As President, he will advance a surge of diplomacy in the region, not a surge of more troops.
