It seems that Captain Codpiece has now lost the support to Republican Indiana Senator Richard Lugar, a stolid conservative and loyal (until now) Bushie, at least as far as the war in Iraq is concerned. Yesterday he said that it was time to start drawing down troop levels in the country. He must have something else to do in September when we are supposed to be able to see the vast improvements brought on by the "surge". Luger is quoted as saying:
"In my judgment, the costs and risks of continuing down the current path outweigh the potential benefits that might be achieved...Persisting indefinitely with the surge strategy will delay policy adjustments that have a better chance of protecting our vital interests over the long term."
