WASHINGTON — Top Republicans on the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees will offer a resolution as early as Friday, calling on President Bush to develop detailed contingency plans for getting the U.S. out of Iraq, a move that could attract support from more in the GOP.

The proposal by Sens. John Warner of Virginia and Richard Lugar of Indiana includes a gradual reduction of U.S. forces and a change of mission.

Warner and Lugar are not waiting until the September report from the top generals and U.S. ambassador in Iraq before calling for a change, but their nonbinding measure will give the Bush administration until then to develop alternatives to the current mission.

The two are getting set to unveil an amendment to the defense authorization bill that calls on the White House to develop a contingency plan for withdrawal. The resolution would be non-binding.

Sooner or later, and I sure hope sooner, all of us who claim to support the troops, all of us, who claim to love and defend America, have to demand to know what the cut and run movement in this great nation has achieved since it's beginning.

To my knowledge, that crowd has done nothing but create doubt in the eyes of our allies as to our will to finish the job, and once that starts, that same crowd has always and will again stand aside and ignore the slaughter of untold millions in the aftermath of the retreat from the battles they insist we can not win.

Did I miss anything, J?
