Greg Parke on War & Peace

Withdrawal from Iraq would be irresponsible

Unlike Sanders and Tarrant, who have said they want U.S. troops out of Iraq soon, Parke thinks withdrawal at this point would be irresponsible. "We should stay until the job's done," he said. President Bush had "chutzpah" to try to bring freedom to the people of Iraq, he said, and he believes the country could become a beacon of stability for the rest of the region.
