Seattle PI - Burner announces Iraq plan
"Ending the war in Iraq calls for diplomatic and economic approaches instead of a military solution, Eastsider Darcy Burner said Monday in leading a group of fellow Democratic congressional challengers announcing a peace plan."
The plan was developed by Darcy Burner and retired Army Major General Paul Eaton, with input from others, and was released at the Take Back America conference in Washington D.C. on Monday, March 17th.
Gregory Roberts, PI reporter goes on to say, "It incorporates many pending legislative proposals and several recommendations of the Iraq Study Group, the commission named by Congress in 2006 and headed by former Secretary of State James Baker and former Indiana Rep. Lee Hamilton."
"What's really new about this particular effort is pulling it all together," Burner said from Washington after the conference announcement. She also cited the plan's recommendations for repairing the institutional breakdowns that allowed mistakes to occur, and its potential for enlisting the support of more congressional candidates, current members of Congress and citizen activists."
