The Iraq Study Group stated that the use of the military in Iraq has passed. it is time for diplomacy to take place. Regrettably. diplomacy has not been seriously considered by the President. and internecine warfare and outright civil war has filled the vacuum of this viable option in Iraq. Also. the refugee problem in Iraq has worsened the situation in the Middle East. to date. the United States has taken in less than 200 refugees from Iraq after promising to take in thousands. Why havent we taken in more refugees or fully allowed diplomacy to bear fruit? These are among the many reasons why I support H.R. 2956. the Responsible Redeployment from Iraq Act. I have opposed this war from the beginning and have been engaged in a continuing fight to change course.
