    The Administration strongly opposes H.R. 2237, which would require the redeployment of U.S. armed forces and defense contractors from Iraq. The Administration believes that a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq could embolden enemies, confirm their belief that the U.S. will not stand behind its commitments, and lead to failure. It could also unleash chaos in Iraq that spreads across the region, requiring troops to later return to a more dangerous situation. The President would veto the bill if it reached his desk.

    STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY

    H.R. 2237 – To provide for the redeployment of United States Armed Forces and defense
    contractors from Iraq
    (Sponsor: McGovern (D), Massachusetts)

    The Administration strongly opposes H.R. 2237, as introduced in the House. Precipitous
    withdrawal from Iraq is not a plan to bring peace to the region or to make our people safer here
    at home. Withdrawal could embolden our enemies and confirm their belief that America will not
    stand behind its commitments. Setting a date for withdrawal is equivalent to setting a date for
    failure, and could lead to a safe haven in Iraq for terrorism that could be used to attack America
    and freedom-loving people around the world. It is likely to unleash chaos in Iraq that could
    spread across the region. In addition to infringing upon the President’s constitutional authority as
    Commander in Chief, the bill would require a precipitous withdrawal of troops that itself could
    increase the probability that American troops would have to one day return to Iraq – to confront
    an even more dangerous enemy. If H.R. 2237 were presented to the President, he would veto the
    bill.
