Comments on: Lugar: Change In Iraq Policy Can't Wait

Republican Senator Says Bush's Surge Can't Achieve Its Goals

Are you running a democracy or a teevee show, mr. neilson poll?

Democracies only have elections once every 2 or 4 years. After that they're on their own.

Donnie, Do you have a clue as to what it is that you're not "giving up" on? A recent poll showed that 40% of Americans still believe that Iraq had something to do with 9/11. Another poll of Guilliani supporters indicated that 40% of his supporters did not know that he was pro-choice (on abortion). Do you belong to either or both of these camps?

Time to give up and go home.

Maybe we shouldn't be too hard on old Lugar; he never was the sharpest tool in the shed and he's at long last come around to have a snort of reality. It would be a little easier to take if he could at least admit his past mistakes. Naah, who am I kidding?

Anyone remember what Pelosi and Reid were called for same the exact same thing a month ago ? - there was a loud outcry when Edwards, kerry, Billary admitted they made a mistake with the votes then based on info later known and at the same time these foolz continued drinking the KoolAid - now he's got a change of heart and you are left with the impression that a lot of people are actually buying his BS - a lot of dems already saw this coming, on the heels of an election year ...... Go Figure ! Parrot2

Amen, Parrot2, amen. We can only hope the rest of the repubs see the light soon and get on the Lugar bandwagon...or at least see that more of the same and the surge aren't cutting it. The hypocrisy of attacking those who called earlier for an end to this madness and now the acceptence of Lugar et al is a bit of a bitter pill to swallow, however.

Al-Qaeda wants our troops to stay! We're their preferred targets -

the iraqi fighters want us out of their country and will keep shooting at us until we go.

mamma mia, don't we know when we're not wanted?

This is one of the guys who never read the NIE report back in 2003, like the rest who voted for the Bush War.

those who read it and saw how flimsy the evidence and accusations were, voted no.

If the conflict in Iraq was the NFL and going this badly we'd say the reason we're losing is either the players on the field or the coaching staff. It glaringly obvious the players have given 110%!!

The military leaders who warned Bushie and his neo.con band of chicken-hawks were pushed aside. The "yes men" he promoted failed the mission and our nation.

It's the 2 minute warning and we're down 42 to 3. Think the coaches can find a way out?

Enormous 'coaching' blunders were made to this point and there is little hope to win without a surge of at least another 200,000 troops.

Why did George Bush approve the full disbanding of the Iraqi military, allow wide spread looting, promote torture and mistreatment of prisoners, leave huge stockpiles of weapons unguarded and unexploded? With all these bad decisions one would wonder if they even wanted to win?

Any good student of military history could tell you these are all negative moves that will work against you if you want to win the peace.
