[Sosfbay-discuss] BREAKING NEWS - Another GOP Senator Breaks with Bush

[alexcathy at aol.com]

Dear Green Friends, 



Good News!? Another senior Republican senator has broken with Bush's Iraq War policy.? 



We had a heated discussion about this just last week.? The solid GOP
wall is finally starting to crumble.? I strongly disagree with those
who say the "peaceniks" should back off and play nice. 



No!? 



Keep up the pressure. Impeach the bastards!? Force 'em to resign if we can!? 


To tell the truth, I am amazed myself at how the impeachment idea is catching fire.? This feels a lot like it felt at the beginning of the end for Nixon.? It's about damned time!

The longtime New Mexico senator is the
latest of several Republican stalwarts who have abandoned Bush on Iraq
in the past 10 days, calling for a change sooner rather than later and
further isolating Bush in his attempt to defend the deeply unpopular
war.







Last week, Sens. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., and George
Voinovich, R-Ohio, said the U.S. should significantly downsize its
military presence in Iraq while beefing up diplomatic efforts. Sen.
John Warner, R-Va., is expected to propose legislation this month
calling for a new approach.







"I have carefully studied the Iraq
situation and believe we cannot continue asking our troops to sacrifice
indefinitely while the Iraqi government is not making measurable
progress to move its country forward," said Dominici, who was elected
in 1972 and is now a senior member of a panel that oversees defense
spending...
