We are determined to win the war on terror and recognize that there is no more important objective than defeating the global terrorist networks that threaten us today. We know the United States must strengthen its hand in dealing with Iran's nuclear threat. We refuse to accept the Taliban retaking Afghanistan. We recognize the growing threat of a potential new al Qaeda beachhead in Somalia and the Horn of Africa.

For these reasons -- and foremost because it is critical to strengthening our national security -it is long past time to set a deadline for the redeployment of American forces out of Iraq.

John Kerry's diary :: ::
Our enemies are thrilled we're bogged down in Iraq. The terrorists are thrilled we're stuck in a quagmire. And we're ignoring growing threats around the world that truly threaten our national security.

There is a better choice - the only responsible choice for our security: redeploying our troops from Iraq. Our troops have done their job in Iraq. It's time to redeploy them so that we can focus our resources on defeating al Qaeda and its affiliated terrorist groups. At the same time, it's time for Iraqis to stand up for Iraq. To make Iraq self-reliant, we need clear deadlines, not an open-ended commitment of U.S. forces.
