The Anchoress has a great collection of links regarding President Bush's speech, which ultimately led to these quotes:
We don't have enough troops there. -John Kerry
There's not enough force on the ground now to mount a real counterinsurgency. -Joe Biden
UPDATE: Joe Biden today: Secretary Rice, to be very blunt, I cannot in good conscience support the president's approach.
If it's for a surge, that is, for two or three months and it's part of a program to get us out of there as indicated by this time next year, then, sure, I'll go along with it. -Harry Reid
UPDATE: Harry Reid today: In choosing to escalate the war, the president virtually stands alone.
Here's an old plan by Hillary Clinton to raise troop levels by 20,000, endorsed by Ken Salazar, Joe Lieberman, and Jack Reed.
Silvestre Reyes proposed something similar a month ago.
Of course, now that a surge has the support of Chimpler W. McHitlerburton, it becomes rather untenable.
