MoveOn Announces Support for John Kerry’s Iraq Proposal

April 6th, 2006 @ 1:37 pm

MoveOn.org announced their support for John Kerry’s Iraq proposal today. The following is a statement by MoveOn.org Washington Director Tom Matzzie on Senator John Kerry’s proposal for Iraq:

Senator John Kerry’s proposal for Iraq is the sort of bold leadership America needs. In the coming weeks, MoveOn.org Political Action will mobilize its members to support Senator Kerry’s deadlines for Iraq.

The reasoning of the Kerry strategy is important: America must insist on more progress from the Iraqis and give them deadlines. The deadlines must be real—backed with troop departures. This is how progress will be finalized in Iraq and how we’ll be able to bring our troops home. This is the rationale reflected in the exit strategies of leaders like Rep. John Murtha and groups like the Center for American Progress.

In these times it is wholly unacceptable for political leaders, especially Democrats, to wait for a change of course in Iraq. The public desperately wants leadership. Senator Kerry has stepped forward and provided it.
