Bush Ally Calls for WithdrawalPosted on Jun 26, 2007Sen. Richard Lugar, a respected figure in the Republican Party and a traditional backer of the president’s war policy, has broken with the White House and called for a draw-down of troops in Iraq—ahead of the much-touted September review of the surge. In what some have described as a watershed speech on the Senate floor, Lugar warned that the coming election would make rational policy choices in Iraq politically unrealistic.

Richard may be late, but we still should welcome him into our tent. Lets not frighten off potential late converts by making the atmosphere too unpleasant. Yes it sure woulda helped had you come around sooner, but thankyou for the support anyway.

When was politics ever rational? So your statement was not rational but only political. This speaks volumns about what we see and what we get and why they never make sense.
