Governor of New Mexico
My policy in Iraq would be to set a date for withdrawal in 2007, coupled with a political agreement between the three ethnic groups in Iraq. We should engage in hard, face-to-face bargaining, send tough messages and try to reach diplomatic agreements that protect America's interests. Our obsession with Iraq has caused us to neglect diplomatic efforts to improve not just our ties with allies in the fight against international terrorism, but also our bargaining with rogue states like Syria and Iran.
