Napolitano warms to Iraq surge; Dems wary
        
PHOENIX Democratic Governor Janet Napolitano's support of military operations in Iraq is drawing criticism from members of her own party.
Napolitano spoke to state lawmakers about Iraq after visiting the country earlier this month.

Napolitano said she's optimistic about the country's security.

And she doesn't plan to call for a troop withdrawal.

Sherry Bohlen -- the co-chairwoman of the Arizona Progressive Democratic Caucus -- says Napolitano's words have been puzzling to Democrats.

Bohlen says the governor should realize that most Americans don't support a surge of troops in Iraq.

The Progressive Democratic Caucus generally represents the left wing of the party on issues ranging from the war to health care and economic justice.
