WASHINGTON (AFP) - US Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Robert Gates are expected on Capitol Hill to face tough questions on
President George W. Bush's plan to send more troops to
Iraq.

The two officials, who will testify one day after Bush announced new war plans for Iraq that include sending 21,500 more soldiers, can expect a grilling from opposition Democrats who now control both chambers of Congress.

One exception was likely presidential candidate US Senator John McCain (news, bio, voting record), who stressed his support for the president's plan, saying it was the only hope of achieving a victory.

"I'd much rather lose a campaign than lose a war," he said on US television after the speech.



I suspect Johnny boy's headed for a twofer.

1. The guy's lost his dignity, his decency, and his mind. I certainly

hope he loses both the campaign and his insane push for more troops.

2. Still waiting on his suicide watch.

If the guy can't keep that promise, why should he be trusted on anything else?
