Rep. Wolf: ISG report must be new strategy

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., introduced a resolution in the House Monday urging that the Iraq Study Group report be the new strategy for dealing with the war.

"The Iraq Study Group's recommendations provide a comprehensive blueprint to move ahead in Iraq," Wolf said. "It has all the components of a successful plan, from the military perspective to the diplomatic perspective, and is in my opinion, the best way to move forward."

Wolf said that while the president's new strategy includes a number of the panel's recommendations, it is missing an important element: the pursuit of a new diplomatic offensive.

"The Iraq Study Group recognized the tumultuous history of the Middle East in pointing out that Iraq cannot be addressed effectively in isolation from other major regional issues, interests, and unresolved conflicts," Wolf said.
