Several GOP Senators urge their Chimp to adopt ISG recommendations

Is that thundering sound a herd of bison charging across the plains, or the sound of Republicans charging toward a face-saving Iraq exit strategy? Neither. Unless they are running in a circle.

All politics, all the time. Bush wants 'time" to ponder the ISG recommendations, the GOP demur to their foolish king. And our kids are maimed and dying by the hour. TLC network had a documentary "Wounds of War" the other night. Chimp should be forced to watch it in an endless loop, though I hear sociopaths cannot empathize with their victims.



Several Republican senators Tuesday called for President Bush to implement a new war strategy based on recommendations by the Iraq Study Group, which advocated winding down the U.S. combat mission.

Privately, Bush has told lawmakers he is open to the group's recommendations but wants to consider them on his own time and does not want to be forced by Congress.

So far, GOP leadership has backed him on this point. Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell told reporters Tuesday he was aware of members' growing support for the Iraq Study Group's findings, but that Congress should not intervene.

After a critical review of progress this September, "I anticipate that we'll probably be going in a different direction in some way in Iraq," said McConnell, R-Ky. "And it'll be interesting to see what the administration chooses to do."
