3 more Republican Senators come out against Bush escalation plan for Iraq



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Susan Collins (ME) and Norm Coleman (MN) - two lightweights - and John Warner of Virginia, who is hardly a lightweight. Warner was the former chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Collins is worried about re-election, and Coleman can't figure out what to think - one minute he's criticizing Bush's Iraq strategy, the next he's condemning the Dems for opposing it. Pick a team, Norm. But Warner, that's interesting. Warner is part of the old guard, and I mean that in a good way. He's what Washington was - a bit nicer, a bit more genteel. The fact that he's standing up to Bush is quite interesting. His opposition could have coattails among other Republicans looking for cover. More from AP.
