++ WaPo: "House GOP is splintering as many members embrace more moderate course than their leaders."

++ Similar article in NYT: "Newly in the minority, GOP shows signs of division on Iraq and domestic policies."

++ A CNN poll shows two-thirds of Americans oppose more troops in Iraq.

++ Bush thinks 70% of the American people are "irresponsible" and challenged them, "If you don't like my Iraq plan, tell me yours". Oh sweet Jeebus. ThinkProgress reminds Bush, we have a plan, called Strategic Redeployment. Huh.

++ Bush says he's sending more troops to Iraq no matter what Congress does. Love that bipartisan cooperation there buddy.

++ Hillary Clinton calls situation in Iraq "heartbreaking", but she's not calling for any kind of troop withdrawl or anything. Grrr.

++ Democrats may push to shutter Gitmo, Abu Graib and secret war prisons by cutting funding.

++ Fareed Zakaria says Even if we "win" with Bush's escalation plan, we'll still lose.

++ A WaPo op-ed on how Iraq has become another Vietnam.

++ The War Within Sen McCain - "vocal supporter of Bush is increasingly critical, isolated".

++ West is going in Democrats' direction. Woot!

++ Finally, I'm going to be going to an antiwar march Saturday, January 27 with my church. I haven't been to an antiwar march in quite awhile, and I'm kind of excited.
