Indeed, Ripon Republicans are a rare breed. I credit that official. It takes courage to do that. I only wish Bush himself would make himself genuine to the American people and admit he made a tactical error by putting so many troops in so soon, that perhaps he should have layered the build-up with an aim to an autumn 2003 campaign if the inspections proved uneventful.

I see the US rolling into Iraq and then rolling into Iran and then Syria will be given an ultimatim. And I think those nations think and know this and if the Battle for Baghdad becomes prolonged, that their forces could enter the fray.

Russ Duker, one of the nominees to fill a committee vacancy, said the resignation ``means we can get back to business and not have this public distraction from supporting the president.''


I think this is a telling statement. Apparently many in the Republican party feel their highest calling is to support the President, not to formulate and promote policies and ideas that they can live with.
