At a press conference today, presidential hopeful Gov. Bill Richardson (D-NM) stated flatly that he thinks U.S. troops should be pulled out of Iraq this year. "I believe we need to withdraw from Iraq this calendar year," he said. He also called for redeployment of troops to Afghanistan and other hotspots throughout the Middle East to deal with international terrorism threats, and for an international conference to explore a political solution to the sectarian conflict in Iraq.
