The plan said supporters had committed to its objectives and listed objective 7 as: “Create a new, U.S.-centered energy policy.” It explained that U.S. dependence on oil tied the country to Iraq and should be reduced.

This establishes the promise: Pingree endorsed a 2008 Iraq plan that included creating a U.S.-centered energy policy as one of its objectives.

The archived endorsees page listed “Chellie Pingree candidate for U.S. House, Maine” among House candidates endorsing the plan, and again listed objective 7 as creating a U.S.-centered energy policy.

This ties Pingree personally to the plan and its energy-policy objective during the 2008 House campaign.

Recommendation 23 stated: “The President should restate that the United States does not seek to control Iraq’s oil.”

The campaign plan’s energy plank was linked to the Iraq Study Group’s oil-related recommendation, but the recommendation itself was a presidential statement objective, not a specific enacted energy statute.

A later-term federal law created substantial U.S.-centered energy-security and clean-energy policy, but it was not enacted as part of the Iraq War plan.
