    WASHINGTON - Republican support for the Iraq war is slipping by the day. After four years of combat and more than 3,560 U.S. deaths, two Republican senators previously reluctant to challenge President Bush on the war announced they could no longer support the deployment of 157,000 troops and asked the president to begin bringing them home.

    "We must not abandon our mission, "but we must begin a transition where the Iraqi government and its neighbors play a larger role in stabilizing Iraq," Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, wrote in a letter to Bush.........

    I think that we will see more GOP slide away from the president and iraq as we get closer to November '08

    I feel sorry for all the coalition troops needlessly killed in this utterly phony BS "War On Terror."

    Remember what Abe said:
    "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time"

    If there really is a god then Bush, Cheney, Blair and the rest of these terrorist scumbags will pay for their war crimes.

    you are correct...since the Iraq was is not going as well as it was planned to go, people will back away. Its the same with the dems that voted for the war...they are already (and have been) backing away from their vote, calling it the wrong thing to do.
