Another Republican joins the fight against the Iraq War

Sen. Olympia Snowe has joined a growing list of Republicans calling for a reassessment of America's strategy in Iraq.

Snowe said in a statement Tuesday that as conditions in Iraq continue to worsen, "there must be no question among the (Bush) administration, the Congress and the Iraqi unity government that staying the course is neither an option nor a plan."

The second-term senator, who is seeking re-election Nov. 7, said she agrees with Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John Warner, who has called for a reassessment of the U.S. strategy in Iraq.

On Sunday, James Baker III, a former secretary of state with a longstanding reputation of caution and service to Republican presidents, also joined the list of prominent Republicans lobbying for change in President Bush's Iraq policy.
