Former Navy secretary says Republicans can't fix Iraq quagmire

RICHMOND, Va. A Democrat seeking a Senate seat in Virginia says President Bush and the Republican-led Congress can't get the U-S out of the bloody quagmire they created in Iraq.

Jim Webb was President Reagan's Navy secretary in 1987 and 1988. He's using the Democrats' weekly radio address to call on leaders to admit the war isn't going well and fix the problem.

Webb is one of the most decorated Marines from the Vietnam War. He left the Republican Party over President Bush's decision to invade Iraq. He's challenging Republican Senator George Allen.
