Congressional Candidate Jeff Beatty proposes Iraq Success Plan
Accuses Delahunt of being unqualified to solve security and war issues

Jeff Beatty, the Republican candidate for Congress, says the Iraq War and terrorism are big issues in this election, but he thinks the 10th Congressional District needs a congressman who is  more qualified in those issues than the incumbent Bill Delahunt.

Beatty, a Harwich resident, says he has been in this same fight over 25 years including time as an Army Delta Force Officer as a helicopter pilot, an FBI agent advising the national Hostage Rescue Team and a CIA Counter-Terrorism Officer in Europe and the Middle East.

In a statement released today, Beatty claims that Congressman Delahunt is only an observer in these matters who has for the last 40 years been a critic, not an actual participant in counter-terrorism operations or armed conflict against our enemies.

Says terrorists would eat people like Bill Delahunt for breakfast

Beatty accuses Delahunt of wanting to cut and run in Iraq, and he says that would be a terrorist victory and only encourage more terrorism.

Beatty added, "The terrorists I have met and worked against eat people like Bill Delahunt for breakfast. They see them as weak and ineffective."

Beatty's three nations plan for disengaging from Iraq

The Beatty success plan for Iraq would bring home 100,000 troops in a year. He says that "Iraq is really three 'Nations' in one Country."

A provision in the Iraqi constitution, he adds, would allow creation of an Iraqi Federation with Kurds in the North, Sunnis in the center and Shia in the south. Implementing this federation would immediately reduce sectarian violence and the national groups themselves would weed out the foreign terrorists then remaining in Iraq.

Beatty claims that his plan will mean that 20 years from now, Iraqis will say, “The Americans got rid of Saddam, something we could not do. The Americans gave us our independence, something we could not secure on our own. The Americans helped us rebuild.”

He says that with this plan, just like with Japan and Germany, we can bring our troops home victorious and make allies out of enemies.

Below is the original Beatty Press Release:

<sup>October 2, 2006
HARWICH – For immediate release

Jeff Beatty, Congressional Candidate MA-10th proposes Iraq Success Plan and accuses Delahunt of being unqualified to solve security and war issues.

I am Jeff Beatty and I am running for US Congress.  Democrats and Republicans say the Iraq War and Terrorism are big issues in this election.  We need to elect a Congressman who is the most qualified in those issues. It is not Bill Delahunt.

I have been in this fight for over 25 years including time as an Army Delta Force Officer, an FBI agent advising the national Hostage Rescue Team and a CIA Counter-Terrorism Officer in Europe and the Middle East. I know our enemies and I have defeated them in combat, security and intelligence operations. 

Bill Delahunt is only an observer in these matters and over the last 40 years has chosen to be a critic, not an actual participant in counter-terrorism operations or armed conflict against our enemies.  Delahunt wants to cut and run in Iraq. That would be a Terrorist victory and only encourage more Terrorism.  The Terrorists I have met and worked against eat people like Bill Delahunt for breakfast.  They see them as weak and ineffective.

The Beatty success plan for Iraq will bring home 100,000 troops in a year.  Iraq is really 3 “Nations” in one Country.

 A provision in the Iraqi constitution allows creation of an Iraqi federation with Kurds in the North, Sunni’s in the center and Shia in the south. Implementing this federation will immediately reduce sectarian violence and the National groups themselves will weed out the Foreign Terrorists then remaining in Iraq. 

The Beatty plan will mean that 20 years from now, Iraqi’s will say, “The Americans got rid of Saddam, something we could not do.  The Americans gave us our independence, something we could not secure on our own. The Americans helped us rebuild.” 

The unselfish efforts of our Armed Forces have put us in a position to have a success in Iraq as outlined in the

Beatty plan.  And my friends, just like with Japan and Germany, we can bring our troops home victorious and make allies out of enemies.

I am Jeff Beatty, a veteran fully qualified to lead us against the threats we face. I ask for your vote on November 7.

I approved this message paid for by the Beatty for Congress Committee 508-430-VOTE</sup>
