THREE MORE GET IT

Not all Republicans are Bush-damaged.

Rep. Christopher Shays (R-Conn.):

“Having been to Iraq 15 times, staying the course would just be foolish.”

Sen. Gordon H. Smith (R-Oregon):

“I, for one, am at the end of my rope when it comes to supporting a policy that has our soldiers patrolling the same streets in the same way, being blown up by the same bombs day after day,” he said.

“That is absurd; it may even be criminal,”

Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kansas):

"And one of the things I like about the report is it talks about a very aggressive regional political diplomatic effort, which I think is key for us now to really get engaged with."
