Uneasy GOP senators beseech Bush on Iraq

By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent

Nervous Senate Republicans beseeched the White House without apparent success Wednesday for a quick change in course on Iraq as congressional Democrats insisted on high-profile votes calling for the withdrawal of U.S. troops by spring.

Prospects for a less-sweeping, bipartisan challenge to President Bush suffered a setback when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the leading proposal has "less teeth than a toothless tiger."

Taken together, the events pointed toward a 10-day period of politically charged maneuvering in the Senate in which Democrats push for a withdrawal, the White House's allies resist and a small but growing collection of Republicans — most of them facing re-election in 2008 — is caught in the middle.

   I happen to watch Senator Barbara Boxer on the senate floor with her characteristic antics: “ Must we wait for more casualties to pile up,  more of our soldiers to die, more women and children to perish in suicide bombings …?  Let us get out now! “

Of course Barbara Boxer was parroting the the line of democrats without  presenting any viable alternative for such course of action. It is cut and run. The democrats sincerely believe in their hearts that it will be like magic – after troop withdrawals the violence and mayhem upon the Iraqi people will STOP!  It is this childlike innocence on one hand or utter intellectual stupidity on the other that drives this democrat mentality, which does not merit any reason for existence … in the senate of all places.
