Support For Iraq Study Group Is Support For The President (Sen. Bob Bennett)

by Utah GOP Sen. Bob Bennett - 07/11/07 1:46 PM ET

My support for this amendment has been misinterpreted as a break with the president. That is not the case. I believe the goals of the Iraq Study Group are consistent with the president’s goals. For me the most attractive recommendation of the ISG is shifting from a combat mission to one of training and support, enabling an orderly drawdown of American forces. Another is the call for a new diplomatic offensive involving all of Iraq’s neighbors. I fully support the work of General Petraeus and look forward to his September report to see whether these goals can be achieved.
