Tancredo Supports Phased Withdrawal From Iraq

Colorado US Representative Tom Tancredo supports a phased withdrawal from Iraq. "I think we are at a point where we need to say to the Iraqi government, 'We have given you a democracy, it is up to you as to whether you want to keep it," the Denvor Post reported Tancredo saying during a debate between Tancredo and his two challengers for Colorado's 6th District, Democrat Bill Winter and Libertarian Jack Woehr.

Tancredo, who has served as US Representative since 1998, is known for being out spoken on illegal immigration and thought to be a possible 2008 candidate for the Republican nomination and even a possible independent candidate. Race 4 2008 gave Tancredo the 10th place spot in its list of who they think will become the Republican nominee.
