This week, from War News Radio, should we stay or should we go? The senate and congress debate if troops should come home or sit tight in 2006. War News Radio takes a look at Congressman and veteran John Murtha's call for immediate withdrawal. We also bring you the story of Walter Jones, one of the first conservative congressmen to withdraw his support of the war. This piece was first aired June 2005.
Joseph Christoff of the Government Accountability Office chats about how hard - and how expensive- it is to keep electricity running in Iraq. And finally, American politicians aren't the first leaders trying to figure out an exit strategy. In a History 101 first aired July 2005, we take a look at what the British did when they left Iraq.
These stories and the week in review, this week from War News Radio.

Review of Should we stay or should we go?
Beautifully put together, this piece is just what we need in such an alarmingly ignorant society. This piece gave great, thorough evidence, and did amazing amounts of reasearch, which was really evident throughout the piece. The many layers of voices and sound bytes added richness and kept the listener engaged. Though slightly biased, by interviewing both republican and democratic congressmen, the piece showed no irrational or radical leanings. This radio program put important and often confusing current events into simple, understandable language that everyone can understand. Thank you so much for putting something out there we can listen to!
