Doesn't compute, Dick. Did FDR discuss every twist and turn of Allied strategy with Congress?

[freedomdefender]

Lugar suggested his committee, which Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., will lead beginning in January, hold a "retreat" to discuss Iraq,

They can gather round a campfire and sing "Michael Row the Boat Ashore"

[lonestar67]

Nice of him to describe a congressional meeting with Bush about supporting our troops as a "lynching" unless the President obeys him.

What great conservatives and Republicans we have to support our President.

[operation clinton cleanup]

If Bush were to act with without involving the new Democratic-controlled Congress, he can anticipate "a lot of hearings, a lot of study, a lot of criticism," Lugar said.

He can anticipate that no matter what he does, Dick.

The Congress In Chief. The Congress In Chief? Still don't sound right.

[dighton]

“In the past, the administration has been inclined not to disregard Congress, but to not take Congress very seriously,” [Lugar] said.

Who in his right mind would take you pompous twits seriously?

[centurion316]

History has not been too kind with war by committee. Even a committee of two is a receipe for disaster, can you imagine a Committee of 100, pompous blowhards every one?

Dick Lugar's 1996 presidential campaign brochure: "Everything a President Should Be, Except Me"

[StAnDeliver]

"Former North Carolina senator John Edwards, described the troop-increase idea as the "McCain doctrine" - after a chief advocate, Sen. John McCain - and said he believes the Arizona Republican is "dead wrong."

Way to go, Breck Girl -- anyone who has a 'Doctrine' named after them has either been, or become President of the United States.

Gee, Specter and Lugar are vying for 'Biggest Imbecile of 2007' already. What plan to they have? None. They sit on their soapbox and bemoan Bush, meet with our enemies, undermine our war efforts, and still they have the gall to act like they are the Commander in Chief while never promoting a plan of their own.

These clowns love to talk, but they are really cowards. When asked about what they would do in Iraq, they are mute or spew nonsensical platitudes designed to obfuscate any responsibility for what they do or say, so they pass the buck to someone else; they want Bush to come up with a plan so if it succeeds or fails, its his ass on the line and not theirs. That's the real courage of weak-minded morons with delusions of grandeur.

ITEM: Denver Post | December 7, 2006---"[Specter has]signaled this week that he'll join prominent Democrats in seeking to restore legal rights to hundreds of suspected terrorists confined at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and elsewhere."

ITEM: DallasBlog.com | 04/19/2006 | Tom Pauken---"Influential Republican senator Richard Lugar has urged the Bush administration to change its Iran strategy, saying the US must talk directly to Tehran about its nuclear ambitions instead of pushing for economic sanctions."

[appleharvey]

It's because of brain stems like Lugar, that the the Republicans are now the minority party, and will continue to be for quite awhile. P.S. A "Happy" and "Healthy" New Year to all!

[Sword_Svalbardt]

No, FDR did not; and if you read Master of Sea Power, the then CNO / CINC of both LANTFLEET, and PACFLEET had to keep the democrat curbed to stop Roosevelt from selling the farm - which he did with Social Security.

[KenmcG414]

Lugar is a fine example of an "empty suit" and one of the examples we are now in the minority.

[Princip. Conservative]

While I strongly oppose President Bush getting weak and caving to the Democrats, I really think that the whole approach in Iraq needs a serious re-think. I must say I'm honestly not sure what should be done, but it's clear that the status quo isn't working, and we lost control of Congress largely because of this ugly war.

[Obie Wan]

Richard Lugar and Arlen Specter. Is this the same Lugar who was all in favor of getting us tied into the anti-American L.O.S.T. treaty ? As for Specter no need asking what side of the aisle this clown supports. With Repulicans like these two who needs Democraps ???

[lowbridge]

"The administration needs to identify precisely where the battle lines are - who is it we combat. I haven't seen such lines," Lugar said.

So speaketh the greatest military strategist of our day. /sarcasm

How about we draw a battle line across your face, Lugar?

[thelastvirgil]

I have zero respect for any congressman or senator. I know, too, that one isn't supposed to judge a book by its cover. That being said, Dick Lugar has to be the goofiest clown of the bunch. In this case, the face fits.

[geo40xyz]

Would someone within hearing distance of senator little dick lugar tell him to STFU.

[FlyVet]

Imagine trying to keep the Normandy invasion secret these days. Our pols and mediots think the war is entertainment and something to use for self-promotion. Un-serious Idiots.

[mkjessup]

A damn shame Lugar didn't meet the same fate as that pathetic puke and RINO-scumbag Chaffee in Rhode Island.
