xvi, 142 p. : ill., maps.; 23 cm "The authors present a detailed blueprint for U.S. withdrawal from Iraq that is bound to stir a national debate. Former senator George McGovern and William R. Polk, a leading authority on the Middle East, offer a detailed plan for a speedy troop withdrawal from Iraq. During the phased withdrawal, to begin on December 31, 2006, and to be completed by June 30, 2007, they recommend that the Iraq government engage the temporary services of an international stabilization force to police the country. Other elements in the withdrawal plan include an independent accounting of American expenditures of Iraqi funds, reparations to Iraqi civilians for lives lost and property destroyed, immediate release of all prisoners of war, the closing of American detention centers, and offering to void all contracts for petroleum exploration, development, and marketing made during the American occupation."--From source other than the Library of Congress How can citizens find out what they need to know? -- What is Iraq, and who are the Iraqis? -- Effects on Iraq of the American invasion and occupation -- Damage report: the impact on America of the Iraq War -- How to get out of Iraq -- What happens if we do not get out of Iraq?
