Even Senator John W. Warner, the former chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and a strong White House ally, voiced concerns about the plan. He said he will draft a resolution calling on Bush to increase troops only if he's willing to endorse the major recommendations of the Iraq Study Group, which called for a major rethinking of the administration's foreign policy.
"Young men and women of US forces and coalition forces should not be caught in the crossfire of a civil war prompted by who should have succeeded Mohammed in -- what is it? -- 650 AD?" said Warner, a Virginia Republican.

There is no way that Bush will sign off on this condition. We'll have to see how he actually votes, but this is yet another bit of evidence that the class of 08 knows that supporting the president could cost them their seats.
