Bayh echoes ISG's call for troop withdrawals
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Evan Bayh -- the Indiana Democrat who formed a presidential exploratory committee earlier this week -- said Wednesday the Iraq Study Group's conclusions prove President Bush's Iraq policy is not working and that a significantly different approach is needed.
"We need to try a different approach, one that puts pressure on the Iraqi people to make the tough decisions that only they can make if they are to succeed," Bayh said in a statement. "The Baker-Hamilton Commission accomplishes this through a number of steps, including its recommendations for troop withdrawals, which sends a concrete signal to the Iraqis that we will not remain there indefinitely." -- CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
