Blow to Bush

A key Bush supporter in the Senate has publicly declared his dissatisfaction with Bush's game plan:

"WASHINGTON - Sen. Richard Lugar, a senior Republican and a reliable vote for President Bush on the war, said Monday that Bush's Iraq strategy was not working and that the United States should downsize the military's role.

"The unusually blunt assessment 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."

This isn't much of a surprise at the offices of the Word. The peoples confidence in Congress is dropping faster than the people's confidence in Bush, and with the June tally of US deaths rising rapidly, and stories like this popping up, the country is demanding immediate results. Furthermore, as the situation pops open, the ire of Musilms is slowly spreading over the Middle East, as Al-Qaida holds out a helping hand to Hamas. Big moves have to be made, and Iraq is not the place to make them.
