tremist insurgents, terrorists, and, more recently, 
growing sectarian conflict. 
(4) The increasing violence is now threatening 
Iraq’s government, endangering regional stability 
and creating the opportunity for safe havens for ter-
rorists. 
(5) The National Intelligence Estimate for Iraq, 
released February 2, 2007, stated: ‘‘Coalition capa-
bilities, including force levels, resources, and oper-
ations, remain an essential stabilizing element in 
Iraq.’’. The National Intelligence Estimate for Iraq 
stated further that if Coalition forces were to with-
draw rapidly, the intelligence community judges that 
neighboring countries—invited by Iraqi factions or 
unilaterally—might intervene openly in the conflict. 
(6) There is evidence that the sectarian violence 
is pulling in neighboring countries, with United 
States and coalition commanders in Iraq, intel-
ligence sources, and the Iraq Study Group all af-
firming that Syria and Iran are actively supporting 
efforts to undermine stability in Iraq, with reporting 
attesting that Iran has provided arms, financial sup-
port, and training for militias within Iraq and may 
be supplying improvised explosive devices to groups 
that attack United States forces.

(7) Israeli Prime Minister Olmert underscored 
the regional consequences of a United States with-
drawal from Iraq in a December 11, 2006, interview 
with the Washington Post and Newsweek saying: ‘‘If 
there is a premature pullout before Iraq has a ro-
bust government with a strong authority that can 
keep the country from collapsing into an internal 
civil war, America will have to think about the pos-
sible ramifications on neighbouring Arab countries 
with moderate governments. . . . How will it affect 
the stability of these countries against the radical 
forces that might flourish as a result of a premature 
pullout of America?’’. 
(8) Ayman al-Zawahiri has repeatedly stated 
the need to extend the jihad beyond Iraq and wrote 
in an October 2005 letter to the late al-Qaeda leader 
al-Zarqawi, that the Islamist militant extremists 
‘‘must not have their mission end with the expulsion 
of the Americans from Iraq, and then lay down their 
weapons. . . . Instead, their ongoing mission is to es-
tablish an Islamic state, and defend it, and for every 
generation to hand over the banner to the one after 
it . . .’’.

Whereas Harriet Ross Tubman became an eloquent and ef-
fective speaker on behalf of the movement to abolish slav-

Whereas after the Civil War, she became active in the wom-
en’s suffrage movement and continued to fight for human

Whereas in 1896, Harriet Ross Tubman purchased 25 acres 
of land in Auburn, New York, to create a home and hos-
pital for indigent, aged, and sick African-Americans,

Home for the Sick and Aged, becoming the only charity 
outside of New York City dedicated to the shelter and 
care of African-Americans in New York; 
Whereas in 1944 the United States Maritime Commission

echoed by Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, 
who was quoted as saying on January 5, 2007: ‘‘We 
don’t shy away from declaring that Islam is ready 
to rule the world. . . . We must prepare ourselves 
to rule the world.’’. 
(10) The failure to secure Iraq would threaten 
America’s vital national security interests, in a stra-
tegically important region in the world, and our 
homeland security interests. 
(11) Recognizing the investment of troops and 
resources had outpaced results in Iraq, the President 
and a congressionally-established commission, the 
Iraq Study Group, conducted reappraisals of our 
policies and strategies in Iraq. 
(12) The President outlined a new strategy on 
January 10, 2007, to immediately further United 
States national security priorities, to provide greater 
security for the Iraqi population, and to accelerate 
progress on essential political, social, and economic 
reforms necessary to the long-term stability of the 
central government and the country.

hearings, General Petraeus addressed the negative 
consequences a premature withdrawal would have on 
United States interests and regional stability, as well 
as the positive encouragement a congressionally- 
passed resolution of disapproval regarding the new 
strategy would have on United States enemies oper-
ating in Iraq. 
(14) In addition, General Petraeus, as he him-
self has stated, cannot accomplish his new mission 
without the deployment of the additional troops, 
which would reinforce United States and allied 
forces. It is not in the best national security inter-
ests of the United States to support unanimously a 
new commanding general given his mission and then 
deny him the resources to be successful in that mis-
sion. 
(15) Despite policy disagreements, all Members 
of Congress support the members of the United 
States Armed Forces, who have served honorably in 
their mission to fight terrorism and to protect the 
security of the United States. 
(16) The members of the Armed Forces and 
their families have made sacrifices, in many cases 
the ultimate sacrifice, to protect the security of the 
United States and the freedom of its citizens.
