Washington, D.C. --- Rep. Rush Holt (NJ-12) issued the following statement today on the release of the report of the Iraq Study Group, led by former Secretary of State James Baker and former Rep. Lee Hamilton:
“I commend the Iraq Study Group for understanding that our present course in Iraq “is not working” and for recommending a significant drawdown of American combat forces. However, the ISG’s recommendation to make withdrawal contingent on “developments in the security situation on the ground” is a loophole big enough to drive many divisions through. President Bush should not interpret this qualification as license to stay the course.”
