Abstract

No Graceful Exit

December 25, 2006 issue

The article sees the Iraq Study Group report as recommending halfway measures. The November 2006 U.S. Congressional elections are seen as a mandate against the war and for an exit strategy, although some, including the "New York Times," seem instead to see a rapid withdrawal as a non-viable option. The writer urges the recognition of those Democrats who were against the war from the beginning, including incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Representative Tammy Baldwin.
