Senator Coleman? That surprises and upsets me. Perhaps he has had a change of heart upon hearing the actual speech instead of just the leaks about a "surge". Perhaps he will have a change of heart after receiving MANY phone calls and e-mails. I am just surprised that someone who is so in tune with the debacle that is the UN--especially with regard to scandals linked with Saddam-- would be against opening up a big ol' can of whoop *** in Iraq.

I will be the author of at least one e-mail and will make "more than one" phone call, unless he retracts his position.

Thanks for the info. Disappointing as it is.

Sounds like he might be persuadable.
