WASHINGTON, July 13 — Two leading Republican senators said today that President Bush should seek a new war authorization and present a plan to Congress by Oct. 16 outlining contingency plans in Iraq. Those plans, which would include reducing American forces, should begin by the end of the year.
About time the republicans caught up with what the rest of the world has known for some time eh? Slower traffic keep "right".

Funny, they agree with what John Murtha said a long time ago...
I wonder if we'll hear the same viscous personal attacks against them on the fair minded talk radio shows.

Because it doesn't have to do with their party affiliation at this point. It's about what's right and wrong now. When 3 out of 4 people in this country think the president is doing a poor job and the war (or excuse me, the liberation) of Iraq has gone so poorly, that's what happens. Republicans can (not often) be people too and use their brain instead of blindly stand behind a president that has gotten so far above his own head, that it might as well be in his a s s. It is definitely wrong to continue on this course and a lot has to be changed.

Because it is becoming clear to most people that the USA cannot stop the civil strife in Iraq. The best we can hope for is to protect the country from invasion by a neighboring country and let the Iraqis settle their own internal problems.

You mean two more. The list of defectors is growing longer as Bush's repeated promises for results keep going unfulfilled.

The rats are abandoning the sinking ship. You ain't seen nuthin' yet. The closer it gets to election the further his cronies are going to distance themselves. Many of them have to talk about Raygun trying to avoid bringing him up. His own party is ashamed of him even as the world is ashamed of his party.

Republicans always seem to hear the voice of the people better and better as election time draws near.

there are so many plans in right now I dont really see how they pick. Probably another delay tactic put in a few dozen proposals and it drains the time away.
