Even GOP seeing red over Bush policies
by Ed Kociela | Jun 9 2007


You know things are going south quickly for the president when senators from the two reddest states in the Union stand in opposition to his war plan.

Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., is siding with a plan proposed by Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., for a nonbinding resolution that would divvy up Iraq three ways - a piece for the Sunnis, a piece for the Shiites and a piece for the Kurds - decentralize the government and put an end to our occupation of Iraq.

Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, and five other GOP senators have signed on to a measure that would enact the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group, which also includes withdrawal.

Clearly, even the hawks are starting to believe that it's over, over there and that it's time to bring the troops home.

So are the Iraqis. A month ago, members of the Iraq parliament signed a draft bill that called for a timetable for the removal of United States troops from their country.

So, it's tough times for the Prez, who was also recently hit with news that his approval rating is in the toilet. The USA Today/Gallup Poll puts his approval rating at 32 percent. That's seven points lower than Richard Nixon's approval rating at the height of the Watergate scandal, until now the darkest mark on the United States presidency.
