WASHINGTON(AP) Two leading Republican senators called Sunday for a new strategy in Iraq, saying the situation in getting worse and leaving the United States with few options.

Sens. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and John Warner of Virginia are part of the growing list of Republicans who are speaking out against President Bush's current plan for Iraq as U.S. casualties rise.

"The American people are not going to continue to support, sustain a policy that puts American troops in the middle of a civil war," Hagel said on CNN's "Late Edition."

Hagel said he agreed with Warner, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, who said after a recent visit to Iraq that Iraq was "drifting sideways." Warner has urged consideration of a change of course if the Iraq government fails to restore order over the next two months or three months.

republicans hagel and warner can see the bloody hand writing on the wall even if dubya can't, what the hell kind of new strategy could possibly help other that cutting and running, which is the only logical military action required?

Drifting sideways? Man, that' a funny way of putting all that mass murder and torture and mayhem, drifting sideways.

1. Reminds me of Nixon's "Secret Plan"

to win the war in Vietnam. It turned out to be more of the same.

2. "Drifting sideways" is a euphemism for tipping over.

The Iraqi government and security forces are unable
to stop Iraq from sliding into civil war.
The politicians are working to partition the country.
The idea of a unified and democratic Iraq out of reach.
Besides trying to keep this disaster from destabilizing
the whole region, what do they propose to do?

As long as it is, there's hope.
