In another sign that Republicans on Capitol Hill are impatient with the White House's Iraq strategy, two more GOP senators Thursday got behind legislation designed to encourage the Bush administration to reduce U.S. military involvement.

Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback and Oregon Sen. Gordon Smith are co-sponsoring a nonbinding resolution by Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr., D-Del., that urges support for creating semi-autonomous regions for Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds in Iraq, a plan Biden has been championing for more than a year.

That comes a day after five GOP senators signed on to separate legislation that would enact the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group, which envisioned that U.S. troops could start coming home next March.

That legislation -- championed by Sens. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., and Ken Salazar, D-Col. -- has the backing of several GOP loyalists, including Sens. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire and Robert Bennett of Utah.

2. "creating semi-autonomous regions for Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds in Iraq"

So much for "sovereign nation".

So much for what the IRAQIS want.

This shit is sickening. Illegal. Immoral.

And bloody sickening.

(And as nearly ALL IRAQI families have Sunni and Shia branches, guess families will be split up, too. God forgive what we've done; I doubt anyone else ever will.)
