CONGRESSMAN ROB ANDREWS REACTION TO PRESIDENT BUSH'S ADDRESS TO NATION ON IRAQFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 19, 2005
Contact: Bill Caruso
Statement By Rep. Rob Andrews
The President's remarks tonight were overdue, but inadequate. America will be safer when we succeed in Iraq and leave behind a stable government that will neither tolerate nor export terrorist violence. I agree that the continuing development of Iraq's political process is a welcome and important part of achieving success. But success-- in the form of a stable Iraq-- will be achieved only when Iraqi security forces are ready to assume responsibility to secure their own nation.
We must achieve the day when Iraqi forces are able to step in, confront and defeat the forces of violence, as so many Americans and allied forces are doing so honorably and ably tonight. The President has not yet articulated a plan to make this transfer of responsibility occur. I am prepared to work with the President and Members of Congress to do what is necessary to prepare and deploy Iraqis for the task of defending their own country. Each time another Iraqi steps up to this task, an American should come home.
This is the path to success--and the path home--for our brave troops.
