War foes plan new way to pressure Bush

[William769]

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- They are two very different Democrats: Neil Abercrombie is a liberal from Hawaii, and John Tanner is a Tennessee conservative.

The congressmen were on opposite sides when the Iraq war began. But they're now joining forces to try to break partisan deadlock on how to end it.

"The country is disgusted with everybody," Abercrombie told CNN. "They think the president is being stubborn. ... and they think Congress failed to act in a responsible way. We have to change the direction of the conversation."

Tanner agreed.

"We've got to have a new dynamic," Tanner said in a joint interview. "You can't keep going down this road of 'You're a better patriot than this guy, you support the troops.' People are dying while that argument is going on."
