GOP senator says Iraq plan not working on Yahoo! News


The only thing about this thats is a surprise is that a Gooper finally had the guts to say it!


Print Story: GOP senator says Iraq plan not working on Yahoo! News:

Sen. Richard Lugar, a senior Republican and a reliable vote for President Bush on the war, said that Bush's Iraq strategy was not working and that the U.S. should downsize the military's role.

The unusually blunt assessment Monday deals a political blow to Bush, who has relied heavily on GOP support to stave off anti-war legislation.

It also comes as a surprise. Most Republicans have said they were willing to wait until September to see if Bush's recently ordered troop buildup in Iraq was working.
