Abstract

No Graceful Exit

December 25, 2006 issue

add to cart close window

The article sees the Iraq Study Group report as recommending halfway measures. The November 2006 U.S. Congressional elections are seen as a mandate against the war and for an exit strategy, although some, including the "New York Times," seem instead to see a rapid withdrawal as a non-viable option. The writer urges the recognition of those Democrats who were against the war from the beginning, including incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Representative Tammy Baldwin.
