A Way Out Of Iraq?

Robert Dreyfuss
July 25, 2005
Robert Dreyfuss is a freelance writer based in Alexandria, Va., who specializes in politics and national security issues. He is a contributing editor at The Nation, a contributing writer at Mother Jones, a senior correspondent for The American Prospect, and a frequent contributor to Rolling Stone. His book, Devil's Game: How the United States Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam, will be published by Henry Holt/Metropolitan Books in the fall.

Unnoticed by the mainstream media, the man who might hold the key to a political solution of the war in Iraq appeared last week in Washington, D.C., where he met quietly with U.S. government officials and experts on Iraq and made a brilliant presentation at the Middle East Institute. Those looking for an exit strategy for Iraq (see my two-part series for TomPaine.com, The Vietnam Solution and An Iraqi Peace Process ) take note.
