| Rep. Shays (R-CT): To Succeed In Iraq, We Need A Timetable For Withdrawal Rep. Shays (R-CT): To Succeed In Iraq, We Need A Timetable For Withdrawal Quote:
Rep. Chris Shays (R-CT) is the latest member of Congress to advocate a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops in Iraq. Shays has visited Iraq 14 times. This morning on Fox, he said that the way for the United States to succeed in Iraq is to “incentivize the Iraqis” to take control of their own country. The way to do that, according to Shays, is to let them know “there is a limit to our presence there.”
Shays noted that previous timelines — to hold elections and create a constitution — are what has spurred the greatest progress in Iraq.
| Shays is in trouble and suddenly he has a change of heart. Another Republican fleeing the sinking ship.
