Earlier, I stated that Sen. Warner had come out in opposition to President Bush's escalation of the Iraq War. I was wrong.So "escalate" in the Hagel-Biden resolution became "augment" in today's Warner-Collins one. This key revision is supposed to help make it easier for more Senators to sign on and declare their opposition to an escalation plan that's opposed by roughly 60 percent of the American public in most polls.In other words, Warner is introducing his own resolution because he disagrees with Sen. Hagel (R) calling Bush's plan an escalation. Glad we have such an experienced Senator making these tough decisions.Your public servants at work.
If this voting record continues, maybe Tom will be a guest on the Conservative cruise.
I'm writing to suggest that you call BS on Warner.On a news clip shown on Countdown, Warner was embarassing again, nothing new, when he mentioned sending additional troops to Iraq. He couldn't bring himself to say "civil war" and said something like "fighting between Sunnis and Shias." Does this go well with "augmentation"?
Why do we keep treating this BS artist like a statesman?
And the answer is? By the way, the person who wrote this comment is a moderate/fairly conservative Democrat, not a "liberal," if that matters to anyone out there.
Republicans want war. Democrats want peace. It all boils down to Republicans own vicious dogs. While Democrats own cats and friendly dogs from animal shelters.
