Pingree committed to using U.S. diplomacy, including engagement with Iraq's neighbors, as part of ending the Iraq War and stabilizing Iraq.

Congress.gov shows H.R.2346 became Public Law 111-32. Its summary included Department of State foreign affairs and diplomatic program funding, Iraq assistance rules, and a requirement for reports on the transition of U.S. forces out of Iraq.

Federal law during Pingree's first term funded civilian and diplomatic operations connected to the Iraq transition, which aligns with part of the promise, though it was not a Pingree-sponsored measure.

The article summarizes the plan as one created by Democratic congressional candidates, retired military officers, and national security professionals; it says Pingree joined the March 17, 2008 unveiling and that the plan listed H.R.3797, the New Diplomatic Offensive for Iraq Act, which was referred to committee and not enacted.

Useful backup when archived primary pages are hard to parse: the specific pre-election diplomacy bill connected to the plan stalled before Pingree took office, so fulfillment cannot be credited to that bill.
