Rep John Warner to propose “surge” opposition

by Hanlon on January 22, 2007 at 5:12 pm

If this doesn’t create a storm I’ll be fairly surprised. John Warner, R-VA, has been a supporter of the Iraq Fiasco for about as long as its inception, so for him to stand up and oppose the surge so bluntly is going to be something indeed.

DANA BASH: Well, today, we are going to hear from a very influential, a senior Republican, making clear that he does not support the president on increasing the troop levels in Iraq. That Republican is the senior senator from Virginia, the former Armed Services Chairman in the Senate, John Warner.

We are told that he is going to introduce a resolution late this afternoon along with at least one other Republican and a conservative Democrat, making clear that he believes that sending more U.S. troops into what he has called increasing sectarian violence is a mistake.

Opposition on all sides of him, will Bush yield? Of course not.
