Sorry to tell you ideologues, it isn't just one:
My conclusion was that it would be a mistake to send more troops to Baghdad. I think the sectarian violence there requires a political, not a military, solution," said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Me.),
Rep. Heather Wilson (R-N.M.), an Air Force veteran and member of the House Intelligence Committee, said she would not support increasing troop levels "to do for the Iraqis what the Iraqis will not do for themselves."
"I also have not seen a clarity of mission, and I think that's the greatest weakness that we have right now," Wilson said. "We're talking about goals in lofty terms that are not vital American national interests. American troops should only go in harm's way to protect America's vital interests."
Senator Bill Nelson: he and others remained reluctant to endorse any plan that would further stretch the military.

He knows about war first hand. He is one of the few half-decent Republicans. The rest are menaces.

Hard to say........as I don't know if Chuck Hagel is a liberal thinker.
As with everything else , liberal isn't a political party - it is a way of thinking.
Believing liberals only belong to the Democratic party is a stereotype.

And your point is?? It's a pretty well known fact that there are republicans and democrats who are for and against the war. So again your point is what?

Actually there are more republican congressmen who have said the same thing.
