Twelve billion dollars a month are being spent now on the war in Iraq, and lots of blood, too. It is THE topic on Capitol Hill right now with a giant defense spending bill being debated on the Senate floor.

Bush said again yesterday in Cleveland, OH that he's hanging in. But Democratic Senators are pushing for US troops to start heading out of Iraq in 120 days. And Republicans are breaking with the president, too. How hard they're breaking is the question.

Listen to an On Point conversation with Republican Senator Pete Domenici and Democratic Senator Russ Feingold about the current raging Iraq war debate in Congress.

What do you want to see Congress do now about Iraq? Stay the course? More surge? Change course? Get out?

It seems like the Senator from NM wants to adopt the Baker-Hamilton recommendations whole-heartedly without ever mentioning the need of serious diplomacy. Why is the word "Diplomacy" missing from the recent Republican lexicon? How many more lives have to be lost before we realize that the Iraq problem does not have a military solution? Serious diplomacy with all Middle Eastern countries and with our one-time allies in Europe and elsewhere is all that is left for the U.S. Adminstration to try.
