Another rat off the ship as the waves lap at his feet.

In Albuquerque today, Sen. Pete Domenici (R-N.M.), a six-term incumbent who faces reelection next year, said he was "unwilling to continue our current strategy" in Iraq.

The announcement follows the split of two other high-profile Republicans with the president over his handling of the war. Last week, Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) and Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio) called on Bush to start withdrawing troops.

With the 2008 election just over the horizon these self serving bastards are finally starting to make the right choice, but don't believe it has anything to do with their concern for the soldiers or the direction of the war.

Oops I got a little cynicism on my keyboard.
