WA-08: Burner builds a new Out of Iraq caucus

Last August, as the culminating event of the Burn Bush fund drive, Darcy Burner organized an online townhall meeting to talk about Iraq. Hundreds of concerned citizens from around the nation tuned in to the live stream that afternoon, to hear Burner announce her intention to work with military experts to develop a coherent plan for both pulling out of Iraq, and reconstructing that shattered nation in the absence of our armed forces.

On Monday, March 17, Burner will present the fruits of her labor to the Take Back America conference in Washington D.C., along with an impressive group of military experts and fellow challengers, including Eric Massa and Donna Edwards.

One of the experts who has been working with Darcy on the plan is Gen. Paul Eaton.

These challengers are not going to let Iraq fade as an issue in 2008. It is the single  issue that makes health care reform, economic recovery, education reform, international reconciliation--all the other issues on Americans' minds--all but impossible to achieve. Until we are no longer wasting billions of dollars and hundreds of American lives every year in Iraq, we can't solve anything else.

Darcy Burner knows it, as do her fellow challengers and the military experts who've joined her effort.
