Warner and other Republicans say 'no'

John Warner, Susan Collins and Norm Coleman don't think the surge will work and have said so publicly. They are introducing a proposal whereby the Senate will say 'no' to another surge in Iraq.

Part of Warner's comments:
“The American G.I. was not trained, not sent over there — certainly not by resolution of this institution — to be placed in the middle of a fight between the Sunni and the Shia and the wanton and just incomprehensible killing that’s going on at this time. We don’t lessen the importance of that mission, but it should be performed by the Iraqi forces and not the coalition forces.”
