Iraq: Should We Stay Or Should We Go?
The ongoing debate over Iraqi withdrawl continues tonight as General William E. Odom, Yale professor and Senior Fellow at the Hudson Instititute, takes on Peter Brookes, Senior Fellow for National Security Affairs at the Heritage Foundation, in a lively debate. "As the third anniversary of the Iraq invasion approaches, support for the War – and the President's handling of it – has fallen precipitously. The President has partially reversed the decline by admitting execution "mistakes," but a majority of the public believes the war itself was a mistake. However, the public is not convinced that immediate withdrawal is the answer and the Iraqi constitution and elections have given many hope that Iraq's fragile democracy will flourish if given sufficient aid and stability. How will the insurgents and Iraqi people react to a withdrawal? How much more strain can our military and our treasury handle? What do we owe the Iraqi people?" Reception will follow.
