[bodytext] => Warner’s Iraq Remarks Surprise White House October 7, 2006 The White House, caught off guard by a leading Republican senator who said the situation in Iraq was drifting sideways… Speaking to reporters on Thursday after returning from a trip that included a one-day stop in Baghdad, Mr. Warner said the United States should consider a change of course if the violence there did not diminish soon. Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., the senior Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, convened a conference call on Friday afternoon to hammer home the theme that even Republicans believed that the administration must change course. Warner’s statement is an important, important statement and, I hope, a turning point, Mr. Biden told reporters. He said that at least two Republican colleagues other than Mr. Warner had told him that once the election was over, they would join with Democrats in working on a bipartisan plan for bringing stability to Iraq. Echoing Mr. Warner’s language, he said, ‘I wouldn? take any option off the table at this time. We are at the point of no return.’ -O- Senator Warner is the latest to say That the PR about Iraq we hear today IS WRONG Don’t think Bush didn’t know He did. He only meant to snow IT’S WRONG Iraq is a maelstrom, a complete mess At least Warner did confess HOW WRONG From the start the lies were told to fight Conniving to make you think wrong was right BUT IT WAS WRONG FROM THE START Bush and his team, who think in black and white With even MORE lies they try to persuade us it’s right BUT IT IS SO VERY VERY WRONG [comments] => 3 [counter] => 258 [topic] => 57 [informant] => steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => war )
