Nice stretch from Hagel ----> Republicans. First off, Hagel has been critical of the Iraq war for quite some time now, its not like he had some recent change of heart. Secondly, most Republicans, and actually most Dems, believe we should stay the course in Iraq.

Is Hagel not a Republican? Or is your point that he is just one person, and I used the plural? How about Walter Jones:
WASHINGTON -- Roughly two years ago, Rep. Walter Jones led the campaign to rename french fries, turning "freedom fries" into a symbol of protest over France's opposition to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
On Thursday, the North Carolina congressman introduced legislation calling on President Bush to begin withdrawing U.S. forces from Iraq by the autumn of 2006.

(note that the story is from last month, so "Thursday" does not mean yesterday)
And btw, what does "stay the course" mean, here? What course do you believe we are on, and when will we know that the "course" is over?
