Quote of the Day
“[T]he surge is not the solution to Iraq’s problems because it is not achieving the political benchmarks that were the stated purpose of our troop increase. You cannot end a civil war unless the warring parties resolve their differences, and only a removal of our combat brigades will put meaningful pressure on the Iraqis to do so.”
–Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), in prepared remarks at a foreign policy forum today in Iowa.
