UPDATE: The US death toll for October reached 53 today.
Senator John Warner (R-VA) appeared on "Face the Nation" this morning reaffirming his earlier strong statement that Iraq is in trouble. Think Progress has the video and the details:
After visiting Iraq earlier this month, Senate Armed Services Committee chairman John Warner said the country is “drifting sideways” and several parts of Iraq have taken “steps backwards.” “In two or three months if this thing hasn’t come to fruition and this level of violence is not under control,” Warner said, “I think it’s a responsibility of our government to determine: Is there a change of course we should take?”The Bush Administration and leading Republicans like George Allen have no plan for Iraq -- besides the political slogan "stay the course." That's why every day now we see articles like this:
Three U.S. soldiers were killed Saturday when their vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb, the U.S. military said in a statement Sunday. Their deaths raised the toll to 49 U.S. troops killed so far for the month, putting October on track to be one of the deadliest months in the war for American soldiers.We have to change the course. We have to change the Congress.
