A Responsible Plan to End the War in Iraq | Welcome
primary · other · model gpt-5.5

End U.S. military action in Iraq: There is no military solution in Iraq. Our current course unacceptably holds U.S. strategic fortunes hostage to events in Iraq that are beyond our control; we must change course. Using diplomatic, political, and economic power, we can responsibly end the war and removing all of our troops from Iraq.

Pingree joined the Responsible Plan commitment to responsibly end the Iraq War and remove U.S. troops from Iraq.

Evidence

The page reports that Chellie Pingree joined other 2008 congressional candidates unveiling a plan whose objectives included ending U.S. military action in Iraq and using diplomatic, humanitarian, reconstruction, accountability, veteran-support, and regional-security measures.

Establishes that Pingree campaigned on a concrete Iraq-withdrawal framework rather than a vague anti-war statement. This supports an effort badge, but does not by itself prove fulfillment.

Obama announced a strategy to end the war through Iraqi responsibility, end the combat mission by August 31, 2010, retain a temporary 35,000-50,000 troop force, and remove all U.S. troops by the end of 2011 under the Status of Forces Agreement.

During Pingree's first House term, the administration adopted a timetable matching the core promise: combat drawdown, transition to Iraqi responsibility, and full withdrawal planned for 2011.

The law made FY2009 supplemental appropriations, including Department of Defense funds and support for Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.

The bill Pingree voted against included continued Iraq-war-related funding, so her later roll-call vote is concrete legislative action consistent with ending U.S. military action.

Obama stated that the rest of U.S. troops in Iraq would come home by the end of 2011 and that, after nearly nine years, America's war in Iraq would be over.

Shows the promised withdrawal was completed as national policy in 2011, during Pingree's later House service after the 2008 campaign term.

Obama authorized targeted airstrikes in Iraq to protect U.S. personnel and assist Iraqi civilians, while saying American combat troops would not return to fight in Iraq.

U.S. military action in Iraq resumed in 2014 against ISIL. That means the original Iraq War withdrawal was delivered, but the broader promise to end U.S. military action in Iraq was not permanently fulfilled.

CJTF-OIR says it advises, assists, and enables partnered forces in Iraq and Syria; in Iraq it supports Iraqi Security Forces at the invitation of Iraq's government.

As of the current official mission page, U.S.-led military activity connected to Iraq continued in an advisory/support capacity, making the fulfillment best assessed as partial rather than complete and permanent.

Assessments

partial later_term A for effort

Pingree campaigned in 2008 on a responsible plan to end U.S. military action in Iraq and took concrete House action consistent with that position, including opposing 2009 supplemental war funding. The Obama administration adopted a withdrawal timetable in 2009 and U.S. troops left Iraq by the end of 2011, which satisfies the core Iraq War withdrawal objective during Pingree's later House service. But U.S. military action in Iraq resumed in 2014 and continued in an advisory/support role, so the broader promise to end U.S. military action in Iraq was not completely or permanently fulfilled.
