Brownback Comments on Troop Surge

From Brownback's Website:

 

U.S. Senator Sam Brownback today commented on President Bush's proposal to increase the number of troops deployed to Iraq. 

 

"I do not believe that sending more troops to Iraq is the answer," said Brownback. "Iraq requires a political rather than a military solution. In the last two days, I have met with Prime Minister Maliki, with two deputy presidents and the president of the Kurdish region. I came away from these meetings convinced that the United States should not increase its involvement until Sunnis and Shi'a are more willing to cooperate with each other instead of shooting at each other."
