The Republican revolt against President Bush's war strategy accelerated yesterday as two of the party's most respected voices on national security proposed legislation envisioning a major realignment of U.S. troops in Iraq starting as early as Jan. 1.

Defying Bush even as his team fanned out to press Congress for more time, Sens. John W. Warner (Va.) and Richard G. Lugar (Ind.) unveiled a measure requiring the White House to begin drawing up plans to redeploy U.S. forces from frontline combat to border security and counterterrorism. But the legislation would not force Bush to implement the plans at this point.

That sounds like a reasonable plan. Hold off the wolves and let the Iraqi's take control of their country.

Their break is not as significant as you would think. It is politics not concern.

It's always politics, but it still is bad news for Bush. It shows the cracks in his armor.
