Senator John Warner (R-VA), questioning General Petraeus, notes that he was once Secretary of the Navy, and in a similar situation as Petraeus.
"This whole nation is in support of the men and women of the armed forces."
He says: "We're not a division of patriots who support the troops" and those who would aid and abet the enemy.
This is yet another slam at Senator Joe Lieberman (CFL-CT).
Warner says he put forward his resolution in response to the President, who asked for those who differ from the President to make their views public.
Warner asks: "Why don't the Iraqis fight sectarian violence, and not the American GI?"
Petraeus answers that this time they really will.
Warner asks, what if they fail to meet their committments?
Petraeus says he is willing to go to his superiors and tell them the Iraqis forces are failing.
