The choice of nouns is highly unfortunate, but anti-war groups are calling Sen. Richard Lugar's (R-Ind.) statement last night on the Iraq conflict a seminal moment in the political struggle over the war.
“U.S. Senator Richard Lugar’s speech last night in which he declared that the president’s policy in Iraq is not working and called for beginning to remove U.S. troops is the equivalent of a tsunami washing over the Iraq debate,” said Brad Woodhouse, president of Americans United for Change, a leading anti-war group. “As the former chairman and the senior ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Lugar is a leading and thoughtful voice in the foreign policy establishment and his new views on Iraq are beyond noteworthy – they are substantial and historic and represent a potentially decisive blow to President Bush’s policy of endless war in Iraq."
