Lugar, the ranking Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, has had enough.
Republican support for President Bush’s Iraq war policy suffered a significant crack Monday evening when Republican Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana urged the president to change course in Iraq “very soon.”
The well-respected GOP voice on foreign affairs took to the Senate floor to urge Bush to avoid further damage to America’s military readiness and long-term national security.
“Our course in Iraq has lost contact with our vital national security interests in the Middle East and beyond. Our continuing absorption with military activities in Iraq is limiting our diplomatic assertiveness there and elsewhere in the world,” he said [...]
He said he sees “no convincing evidence that Iraqis will make the compromises necessary to solidify a functioning government and society, even if we reduce violence to a point that allows for some political and economic normalcy.”
The senator said continuing military operations in Iraq were putting a damaging level of stress on U.S. forces, “taking a toll on recruitment and readiness.”
“The window during which we can continue to employ American troops in Iraqi neighborhoods without damaging our military strength, or our ability to respond to other national security priorities, is closing,” he said. “The United States military remains the strongest fighting force in the world, but we have to be mindful that it is not indestructible.”
He essentially has endorsed the Murtha plan — redeploying some forces in Kuwait, while making a laughable call for Bush to change course:
“A course change should happen now, while there is still some possibility of constructing a sustainable bipartisan strategy in Iraq. If the president waits until the presidential election campaign is in full swing, the intensity of confrontation on Iraq is likely to limit [options],” he said.

Yeah, I read the RINO. And?
Just because you call the person you disagree with a RINO, doesn’t make your position right. LOL! The FACT is, your war in Iraq is getting less popular by the minute. All these nice pictures you post of the troops aren’t changing any minds about Bush’s war that was started on a pack of lies.
It’s time to start bringing our brave warriors home without delay.
And, by the same token and principle YOU accuse others of, just because YOU agree with the MINOROTY,doesn’t make it right.
It is time for your kind to STFU. No one is listening to you.

Au contraire! There are MILLIONS who are on his side. It is only YOU and a very small minority who refuse to listen to anything except what you have been programmed to believe. I realize no matter what we say it will never move you one iota. No matter how much truth comes out showing what bush really is – nothing will alter your mindset.
There “may be” millions but there are millions more on the other side…you can take that to the bank.
Your side is the minority. Get used to it.
That’s such a typical liberal attitude. That no one could possibly disagree with their mindset because they have to be right all the time.

Already showed you. If your memory is that bad, perhaps you should see a doctor.
Depends how one is asked. Look everyone wants our Troops home. This war has to be won. And doesn’t anyone care what the Troops think? We’re there in Iraq so we might as well win it. Afterall AQ is there.
Petraeus will let us know about the surge.
I’m interested in making sure the Iraqi Govertnment gets with it.
LOC go to milblog and say this stuff.
You didn’t debunk a thing. You can’t and you know it. You are in the minority…again and as usual. Try again.
Cassy…he is too much of a coward to do so and we know it and he knows it.
Very nice numbers in #17. Too bad they are in the Leftinistra developed camp and we all know what that means. Try again. You are fading into obscurity with the rest of the moonbats.
For #15…already “cited” and shown here and elsewhere. Again, if your memory is so bad, go see a doctor. Repeating your proven wrong talking dulls won’t make them true and shows that your ignorance is leaking.
“Somewhat important” could go either way but leans toward “Very important”. To be fair split that number in half.
“Sad day for you, huh?” Grow up punk.
You haven’t debunked anything to date…keep trying punk.
solo…the only thing IT has debunked is ITS own intelligence.
Here ya go dumbass nevada…
