We have a copy posted of the GOP alternative to Sen. Jim Webb's troop readiness amendment. It is being billed as the "McCain-Graham" amendment. This comes after Sen. McCain announced on the Senate floor that Sen. John Warner would be sponsoring the resolution. We're told that McCain later retracted that remark, but not before Webb reacted strongly to the purported Warner move.

Confused? So are we. Whatever the case, Warner now says he won't support the Webb Amendment, although he had supported it when it first came to a vote over the summer.

The votes on both amendments are scheduled to take place momentarily.
