WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush should announce on September 15 an initial pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq to spur the Iraqi government to take steps toward political reconciliation, an influential Republican senator said on Thursday.
Virginia Sen. John Warner said Bush should "announce on the 15th that in consultation with our senior military commanders he has decided to initiate the the first step in a withdrawal of our forces."

Ok, does he mean it, or is he trying to pressure the Iraqi government to step up faster and harder?

I have a better idea. Warner should begin withdrawal from public office.

I have a better idea. Warner should begin withdrawal from public office.I second that.
Bottom line on John Warner: It was an honor to be one of the husbands of Elizabeth Taylor who came up early in the order. But hitting cleanup was pathetic.

Warner has been wetting his bed for some time now. He’s a disgrace.

I am confident that Bush will ignore this blithering idiot. The military is doing a great job in defeating Al Qaida in Iraq and Iran’s thugs. There’s no reason for Bush to provo=ide encouragement to those two terrorist groups.

It take 2/3 of the Senate and 2/3 of the House to force the President do what they want, and they are not going to get the vote to do what they want, period. Why do these idiots and traitors in the democrat party, few in the republican party, and the liberal media cannot get it in their stupid heads?! They keep getting these fake mental orgasms thinking that they are going to win, they are as delusional as the Arabs.

Senator Warner will need a Task Force of returning Virginia National Guardsmen and Reservists just to keep his funky old butt in clean Grampers.

Warner's psyche still hasn't gotten over Liz's withdrawal from him.
