John Edwards released a statement today on Iraq. It reads, in part:

This is deja vu all over again. We saw it in Vietnam and we saw it earlier this year. We don't need any more non-binding resolutions or big statements; we need to end the war. I've been in Washington, so I understand the urge to make a statement - but in this situation, statements can be an excuse for inaction. Congress has a clear choice - they can talk about ending the war, or they can just end it. The only way for Congress to end the war is to cut off the money for it, and they should concentrate on doing just that. Anything else is just noise.

I agree. That's how we get out of Iraq, and injecting this reality into the national conversation about Iraq is the only way we can get public consensus and Congressional will behind it.
