Iraq: The Logic of Withdrawal

Last Summer, Electronic Iraq featured an interview with Anthony Arnove, author of the book Iraq: The Logic of Withdrawal. Now available on paperback, the book remains relevant to anybody trying to understand the argument for withdrawal - an argument often presented without nuance. Arnove's argument is nuanced and direct and deserving of a wide hearing by people on all sides of the withdrawal issue.

Strong support has coalesced in the Pentagon behind a military plan to "double down" in the country with a substantial buildup in U.S. troops, an increase in industrial aid and a major combat offensive against Muqtada al-Sadr, the radical Shiite leader impeding development of the Iraqi government.

Washington at large and President George W Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney in particular may apply every contortionist trick in the geopolitical book to save their skins in Iraq - and the reasons are not entirely political.

No human being, regardless of race, creed, skin color, ethnicity, or religion, accepts humiliation and subjugation. As such, our military death toll will grow until the day when the rape and pillage of the “New American Century” ends and the troops come home. How much more agony should we force the children of Iraq and America to take.

Tom Engelhardt writes: "Think of the ISG as the clean-up-crew version of the Blue Team of Millennium Challenge '02. Before they even began, Bush family consigliere Baker and cohorts ensured that while the ISG would be filled with notable movers and shakers from numerous previous administrations, no one on it, nor any expert 'team' advising it, would represent the one point of view that a majority of Americans have by now come to support - actual withdrawal of all US forces from Iraq on a set timeline."
