'L.A. Times' Finds Two More GOP Senators Breaking With Bush on War

Now we're getting into dangerous territory for Bush and Cheney, or for the rest of us. us

'L.A. Times' Finds Two More GOP Senators Breaking With Bush on War:

NEW YORK While much of the media on Friday focused on two new Republican defections from the White House on the war in Iraq -- namely, Sen. Pete Domenici and Rep. Jerry Doolittle -- the Los Angeles Times found a couple more.

Staff writer Noam N. Levey secured quotes to this effect from two previously hawkish GOP senators.

'It should be clear to the president that there needs to be a new strategy,' said Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee. 'Our policy in Iraq is drifting.'

Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, who had helped lead the effort against Democratic restrictions on the 'surge,' said: 'We don't seem to be making a lot of progress.' It is vital to have 'a clear blueprint for how we were going to draw down,' he added.
