Responsible Plan to End the War in Iraq

A Responsible Plan to End the War in Iraq was announced in 2008 by a group of congressional candidates and national security experts, who claimed it is a non-military solution for America's goals in Iraq. When it was introduced in March 2008, eleven Democratic candidates for the House endorsed the plan, and more than 30 have since signed on as supporters.

Components
The plan is structured around seven main proposals:


 * 1) End U.S. Military Action in Iraq
 * 2) Use U.S. diplomatic power
 * 3) Address humanitarian concerns
 * 4) Restore our Constitution
 * 5) Restore our military
 * 6) Restore independence to the media
 * 7) Create a new, U.S.-centered energy policy

Background
The plan was prepared from pieces of legislation already considered by Congress, and in conjunction with "national security experts, retired generals, and Congressional candidate Darcy Burner."
