Sen.Warner Plays Brutus

Stabbing the President, and our brilliant and brave troops on the frontlines in the back. From the Washington Times:

Sen. John W. Warner of Virginia and other Republicans publicly offered a resolution yesterday condemning President Bush's proposal to send more troops to Iraq. The "Senate disagrees with the 'plan' to augment our forces by 21,500, and urges instead to consider all options and alternatives for achieving the strategic goals set forth below with reduced force levels than proposed," wrote Mr. Warner, joined by Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Norm Coleman of Minnesota.

I wrote about this happening a few years back, in the editorial Bush Stands Alone.
