Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) opposes Iraq escalation.

Coleman “said today after a two-day trip to Iraq that he would not support an increase in the number of soldiers in Baghdad. He said he would ’stand against’ any effort to send a surge of more troops to Baghdad unless there’s a clear vision that it will help end sectarian violence in the city. ‘I think it would create more targets. I think we would put more life at risk,’ he said.”

1. Normie the Weasel is looking at his 2008 windsock,

and although he's been the Bush Administration's buttboy since he got elected to the Senate, he sees which way the wind is blowing and is weaselling accordingly.

2. Succinctly stated!!! Well done! Got it in a single sentence! NT

[jgraz]

6. Very nice

He feels Big Al breathing down his neck...

[goforit]

7. Hell, if he refuses the surge....It beats voting for Hillary!

[Jack Rabbit]

8. That was my first thought

The Surge is a dog that won't hunt.

12. Exactly. He'll probably switch back to the Democratic Party within

the year. :eyes:

14. Now let's see if he can remember which way to fly through it.

:eyes:

[loveable liberal]

3. Senator Sprinkle grows a nut... who'da thunk?

This pinhead measures his actions by testing the wind. He was a democrat, then changed to a Puke... I will never forgive him for participating in the "Truth Squad" during the DNC. He is a puppet with no master now. He would not be Senator if Wellstone was still alive. He is out next election.

4. Come on Norm stand up w/ your man.

a google search will show your quotes on the war ....
flip flop.

Sen. Al Franken
he is god enough
he is smart enough
and dog gone it people like me

[ShortnFiery]

5. He's still a putz.

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day. :shrug:

[driver8]

10. That word is the perfect description of that weasel -- "Putz". n/t

[jwirr]

9. Finally he does something right!

[Dinger]

13. I'll NEVER Forget What he Said About Paul Wellstone

99% better my fucking ass. He isn't fit to be buried on the same planet as Paul.

[Generic Brad]

11. The attack puppy broke his leash?

Blah-blah-blah. Coleman is nothing but talk. When the chips are down and the President needs a yes vote Norm will "reluctantly" answer the call and do the opposite of what he's saying now.

He's a redcoat Democrat turned Republican for the sake of momentary political expediency. I will never trust him and his fake smile again.

[Sapphire Blue]

15. He will do what he's saying now... he will support an increase...

... because he will have "a clear vision that it will help end sectarian violence in the city."

It reminds me of McCain & the other Gumby repubs who stood up :sarcasm: against bush in regard to torture.

16. I guess the empty suit noticed the wind was pushing him the other way.
