WASHINGTON — In another sign of Republican unease with the president’s Iraq policies, a third GOP senator expressed support Thursday for pulling U.S. forces out of Iraq under certain conditions.

Sen. Olympia J. Snowe announced she would sponsor a bill to require American commanders to plan a withdrawal within 120 days of the bill’s enactment, unless the Iraqi government meets a series of benchmarks.

“The Iraq government needs to understand that our commitment is not infinite,” said Snowe, a moderate from Maine who frequently departs from the party line.

President Bush has insisted that Congress not impose any limits on his conduct of the four-year-old war. But Snowe has taken issue with that view.

“It is our business as well,” she said Thursday.

Weakness is not a plan for victory, Ms. Snowe. They can't override a veto. At least we are seeing who is on the side of America, and who is on the side of the terrorists. I will not forget who these traitors are.

I wish these Senators would just stop playing this sick game of placing an R next to their name and then acting like a D.

Maybe this is the grand strategy. Get enough R's elected that act like D's, piss off the Republican base because the R's won't act like R's, the Republican base does not turn out to reward R's who act like D's and the D's win the next election. So, in essense, the R's that act like D's are traitors to their own party. Any House or Senate rules for this?
