Lugar calls for withdrawal of majority of US troops from Iraq over the next few months


This is huge. And it's actually a hell of a lot more than Lugar called for only a few days ago when he gave his speech on the Senate floor. As we noted before, Lugar is probably the most learned Senate Republican on foreign affairs issues, and he is not one to challenge George Bush, or anyone else, publicly on anything. The fact that he is speaking up, loudly and repeatedly, means any support Bush has in Senate for his Iraq policy is fast crumbling. More from CBS.
