Senate Debates U.S. Military Spending in Iraq
Take Action:
Right now, the Senate is considering amendments to the Bush administration's $82 billion spending request for tsunami relief and U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan .
Regardless of whether you believe U.S. forces should leave today, next year, or the moment Iraq is able to provide for its own security, one p rob lem remains clear: the Bush administration is not doing enough to create a responsible way out of Iraq .
While reports of progress in equipping and training Iraq 's new security forces are encouraging, U.S. assistance has fallen short in helping Iraq build the civilian institutions that underpin democracy.
Two years after the fall of Saddam Hussein, Iraq 's national ministries, directorates, and governing institutions lack the capacity to effectively direct resources or make decisions based on the needs of the Iraqi people.
Join the Education for Peace in Iraq Center ( EPIC ) in asking the Senate to amend the emergency appropriations bill. Urge them to require that the Bush administration provide a detailed plan for supporting Iraq 's transition to a fully independent and stable democracy, including a clear timetable for the reduction and full withdrawal of U.S. forces.
