Comprehensive Strategy for Iraq Act of 2007

H.R. 645, the Comprehensive Strategy for Iraq Act of 2007, sought to end the U.S. military mission in Iraq by setting an expiration date of December 31, 2007, for the original authorization of force. The bill would have prohibited the use of federal funds to establish permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq and required the President to submit a formal plan to Congress for ending combat operations. Additionally, it proposed shifting the U.S. focus toward regional diplomacy and reconstruction aid, while redirecting military resources toward counter-terrorism efforts in Afghanistan and other regions.
