Who cares about what Senator Browneye thinks about anything? He opposed the surge. He can go screw.
So he stpes out of line (slightly) with an administration that is openly hostile to most things conservative and it is screw him? He is not so much opposed to the surge as he is to continuing to bang our head on the wall that is Iraq. At least he is trying to think outside the box.
Sen. Brownback recognizes that we can’t just up and leave Iraq, but also recognizes that we need to have flexibility on what our troops do on the ground.
