Not all Senators need to be beat about the head and shoulders over how they should respond to the war in Iraq. But those who have supported the troops need encouragement to press for victory. Much damage has been done by antiwar, pro-surrender crowd. But this problem can be overcome urging Senators with good intentions to resist the temptation of weak politics.

Senator Snowe of Maine and Senator Isakson of Georgia need your help. Call, fax or email them to continue the push for victory. At least, Congress should refrain from talk of surrender past the Septermber report from General Patraeus.

Snowe gave up on the war a year ago but has so far rejected Democratic deadlines for troop withdrawals. In Boren’s mind, he isn’t qualified to dictate war policy to the commander in chief. So far, Isakson is willing to wait for the September report. But like most Republicans, he expects the Iraqi government to deliver on at least some of the benchmarks for progress that Congress established in May.

Bush’s allies number about 35 in the Senate and 180 in the House, compared with a liberal bloc of 29 senators and 169 House members who are demanding that troops come home now.

If you support the troops, in general, you can help them a great deal by calling your Senator and urging them NOT to abandon pursuit of victory in Iraq. The calls worked against amnesty. They can also work for victory in Iraq. Calling the Senators is the least we can do for the troops
