Republicans join critics of war in Iraq touches on the growing bi-partisan doubts about Iraq.

In a worrying sign for the White House, which has tended to paint war critics as unpatriotic, Republican senators appear less reluctant to raise concerns about the way the administration is running the campaign in Iraq.
On Thursday, some joined Democrats in warning the administration that the tide of public opinion is changing.
“I'm here to tell you, sir, in the most patriotic state I can imagine, people are beginning to question [the war],” Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, told Mr Rumsfeld, who was testifying before the Senate armed services committee.
“And I don't think it's a blip on the radar screen. I think we have a chronic problem on our hands.”
In characteristic form, Mr Rumsfeld retorted that people who spent time chasing opinion poll numbers end up “getting seasick”. He also argued that the administration and the American people had the willpower to stay the course in Iraq.
Rummy, the people standing in support is dwindling. It is time to re-examine.

To steal the lyrics from "Les Miz":

Do you hear the people sing Singing the song of angry men It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again
The people are turning, the people may turn angry. Get ready Rummy.
