Brownback open to partitioning Iraq
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican presidential hopeful Sam Brownback said Thursday that Iraq must achieve a "political equilibrium" even if means partitioning the country along ethnic lines.
"I'm saying, and I hope the Iraqi leadership is hearing it: We will not face the American public in 2008 with a situation that looks anything similar to where we are today ... American deployment of troops on the front line conducting the military operations," the Kansas senator said in an interview with The Associated Press. Brownback called for the United States to push more aggressively for a political solution, and said the message already is being clearly sent -- "You, the Iraqis, will have to take this over." |
