| The Pomfret Democratic Town Committee strongly opposes the continuation of the war in Iraq.
We oppose sending troops without adequate equipment or training to fight a war with no defined goals or plan for victory.
We oppose sacrificing American soldiers by putting them in the middle of a civil war where their presence increases, rather than decreases the level of violence.
We oppose wasting more treasure in a war that has enriched politically connected profiteers and has badly damaged our military's infrastructure, and call for a full public accounting of waste, mismanagement, and fraud in the war's costs.
We oppose bogging down American military strength in Iraq at a time when America needs that strength to face many other dangers.
We applaud and encourage recent Congressional efforts to end the war by a specific date.
Since all of the initial Iraq War aims have been achieved (with the removal from power of Saddam Hussein and the acknowledgment that Iraq has no weapons of mass destruction that threaten us at this time), we call for the end of American combat involvement in Iraq, and a redoubled focus on combating Al Qaeda. |
