7 Republicans Push for a Vote on Iraq War Resolution

CNN.com reports that yesterday several anti-troop surge GOP senators lead by Sen. John Warner circulated a letter to leading Democrats and Republicans, saying the "current stalemate" over the Iraq resolutions is "unacceptable" and they intend to offer the Levin-Warner resolution "disagreeing" with the increase in troops to future bills coming before the Senate.

"We strongly believe the Senate should be allowed to work its will on our resolution as well as on the concepts brought forward by other senators," Warner said on the Senate floor, reading from the letter. "Monday's procedural vote should not be interpreted as any lessening of our resolve to go forward advocating the concepts" of the resolution.
