The latest GOP senator to add his voice to the chorus criticizing the administration and calling for a change of course, if not an outright withdrawal is Senator Pete Domenici (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/06/washington/06cong.html?hp) of New Mexico.

In the last two weeks, three senior GOP senators have joined Virginia Senator John Warner and come out calling for dramatic change in Iraq policy. (http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2007/07/06/washington/06cong_graphic.ready.html)

Since 60 votes are essentially needed to get anything done in the Senate, how long will it be before enough Republicans break party ranks to oppose the President on this issue?

It's nice to see Republicans starting to see reality (though this is more about elections that Iraq)... I mean Iraq has been poorly waged and run for years now... and they are just starting to get it.
