warnerSen. John Warner (R-VA) will introduce a resolution today making clear that he does not support the President on increasing the troop levels in Iraq and calling escalation a mistake, CNN’s Dana Bash reports. Warner’s resolution will be cosponsored by Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Ben Nelson (D-NE).

Warner, the former Armed Services Committee chairman, is a very influential voice when it comes to military matters, Bash reports, and until this fall had been whole-heartedly behind the president and the war. His new resolution certainly– is not going to sit well with the White House.
