Another Republican Senator has said Iraq is a mess, possibly "criminal". Gee, I can't imagine what's taking them so long. I guess he doesn't want to have Iraq hanging over his head in '08. Entire article; link below; my emphasis.

"Oregon Republican Senator Gordon Smith -- who voted in favor of the Iraq war and has supported it ever since -- now says the current U.S. war effort is "absurd" and "may even be criminal."

In a major speech on the Senate floor last night, the Oregon senator called for rapid pullouts of U.S. troops from Iraq.

Smith says he would have never voted for the conflict if he had known the intelligence that President Bush gave the American people was inaccurate.

Smith says he is "at the end of my rope."

Smith, who is up for re-election in 2008, says he wants his constituents to know what is in his heart.

While expressing grave doubts about the Iraq war, Smith said he does not believe the United States can retreat from the larger war on terror."
