WASHINGTON (AP) - Several leading Senate Republicans who support President Bush's troop- boosting plan for Iraq say they will give the administration and the Iraqis about six months to show significant improvement.
"I don't think this war can be sustained for more than six months if in fact we don't see some progress," Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., said Wednesday. Until this month, he was chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Roberts' comments came two days after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the new U.S. military push was the Iraqis' "last chance."
