[News] Cochran Backs More Troops, Lott Balks
From the Clarion-Ledger:
Sen. Thad Cochran was one of about a dozen Republican senators who was invited to the White House on Monday to preview the president’s plan.
“I was surprised I was the only one who said I would support him,” Cochran said. “I think the president should be given a chance to make this work.”
Cochran said many of his GOP colleagues are “kind of waiting to see what the details are.”
Sen. Trent Lott said he is willing to study the president’s proposal but won’t support a troop surge unless it’s part of a broader plan.
