DESCRIPTION:Former Senator George McGovern and co-author William R. Polk, a leading 
 authority on the Middle East, offer a detailed plan for a speedy troop 
 withdrawal from Iraq. During the phased withdrawal they recommend that the 
 Iraqi government engage the temporary services of an international 
 stabilization force to police the country. Other elements in the withdrawal 
 plan include an independent accounting of American expenditures of Iraqi 
 funds, reparations to Iraqi civilians for lives lost and property 
 destroyed, immediate release of all prisoners of war, the closing of 
 American detention centers, and offering to void all contracts for 
 petroleum exploration, development, and marketing made during the American 
 occupation. \n\nGeorge McGovern, the Democratic Party's nominee for 
 president in 1972, served in the House of Representatives from 1957 to 1961 
 and in the Senate for eighteen years, from 1963 to 1981. He was the 
 president of the Middle East Policy Council in Washington, D.C., for six 
 years and then served as ambassador to the UN Agencies on Food and 
 Agriculture in Rome under President Clinton. He holds the Distinguished 
 Flying Cross for service as a bomber pilot in World War II and the 
 Presidential Medal of Freedom for humanitarian service.\n\nCopies of Out of 
 Iraq will be available for purchase and signing.\n\n$12 - $25 suggested
