Ex-president Bill Clinton’s CIA director, John Deutch, is recommending that the U.S. pull out of Iraq, saying the occupation is likely to be a failure no matter what America does.
“I believe that we are not making progress on our key objectives in Iraq,” Deutch told an audience at Harvard University on Tuesday.
The one-time top Clinton intelligence officer called for American troops to withdraw “as soon as possible.”
“There may be days when security seems somewhat improved and when the Iraqi government appears to be functioning better,” he explained during an address to Harvard’s Phi Beta Kappa honor society.
“But the underlying destabilizing forces of a robust insurgency and warring factions supported by outside governments is undiminished,” he warned.

Deutch said the U.S. was wrong to try to impose American values on a foreign country.**
“Our nation embarks on an especially perilous course when it proactively engages in some regions of the world with the intention of achieving a government based on our values,” Deutch said.

“It is one matter to adopt a foreign policy that encourages democratic values and institutions in other parts of the world. It is quite another matter to believe it just or practical to achieve such results on the ground with U.S. military forces.” **
