Iowa Senator Tom Harkin has called for the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq, saying it's the only solution after recent religious violence in that nation.
Harkin's comments place him among the first members of Congress to publicly state that the war in Iraq has become a fight between Muslim factions.
The criticism follows a CBS poll last week that showed 65 percent of respondents disapproved of President Bush's handling of the war, his worst marks since the war started three years ago.
A White House spokesman says retreat before victory would be reckless.

You're right. And, good evening Txsleuth!
Going slow this evening. Household chores, and all that. LOL
If the situation is precarious, what good will pulling out the troops do? If we lose this thing, I will place the blame squarely on the Democrats.
And Harkin and his fellow Democrats are simply chickens.
All members of Congress have no balls except for the silk lining in their pockets. Not one is exempt. And don't forget it! Vote them all out of office, everyone of them. This problem is so rampant, no one sees it.
It's too bad Toms father didn't.
Hello....I have been busy with errands and chores all day as well...so I am just now catching up to the news.
Mostly done here. At the moment I'm watching Neil Gabler making a fool out of himself.... AGAIN. This idiot is only qualified to teach geography in a Colorado High School....
Will he pull out to Nebraska?
What a pitiful waste of skin!
BINGO!!!
I wonder if he and Kerry will try to set up a meeting with Al-Zarqawi....like they did with Noriega...
and like Kerry did with the Communist Vietnamese in Paris?
Whenever I see Harkin or even read his name I think about dancing to the Dean scream.
How about clammoring for Harkin to pull out of the Senate.
Isn't it time for Tom to make some more claims about himself shooting down MiGs over Vietnam again (later proven false)?

"and like Kerry did with the Communist Vietnamese in Paris?"
Or like Clinton did with the Communists in Moscow when he was a student.
It's gotta be about farm subsidies! Take out subsidies and close the borders and see you food prices go up by 50% overnight. But, we have no inflation.
He's not called "Cut and Run Tommy" for nothing. Cowards like Harkin and Murtha are a dime a dozen on the left.
Not THAT, the shirt!
That may leave a void,we should probably allow some to stay;)
Instead of blabbing why doesnt he introduce a bill to cut off the funding for the war .That perogative he has ,he is not the president so he can not order troops out himself ,so I believe he should shut the old pie hole.
