The five and a half years of war in Iraq has been an exercise of misplaced priorities:
- Draining U.S. taxpayers of at least three trillion dollars which could have gone towards investments that strengthen our economy, such as: health care for our families, ensuring the best education for our children and youth, and addressing the energy crisis.
- Resulting in hundreds of thousands of American and Iraqis dead and wounded.
- And undermining the United States’ standing as a worldwide symbol for democracy and justice.
Because of these reasons, the majority of American and Iraqi people want the United States to begin a withdrawal of American troops from Iraq as soon as possible, with a date certain for completing that process.
