Republican Senators Frist and Warner decided to cover their own asses on Tuesday by attacking the President's Iraq policy while the President was traveling in Asia.

This is a new low for the hypocritical Republicans who have viciously attacked the Democrats for cricizing the President while he was traveling outside the country.  The best explanation is that Senate Republicans are cowards who do not have the courage to stand up to Bush when he is in Washington.
