Another GOP Senator Teeters
Two Republican Senators, Chuck Hagel (R-Nebraska) and Gordon Smith (R-Oregon) have supported the Democrats' call for withdrawal dates. That number may increase to three soon.
Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) says this;
"I do believe there comes a point in September where if it's evident that the new strategy is not successful and will not succeed we do have to change course and that means looking for all options, including a plan for withdrawing troops,"
Oh, by the way, did I forgot to mention that Collins is up for reelection next year in a Democratic-leaning state where the war is very unpopular and she will likely face Maine's powerful senior Democratic congressman Tom Allen of Portland?
The dominos will begin to fall...at least the 22 of them.
UPDATE: Allen jumped into the race today. Perfect timing for Collins to make her statement if you ask me.
