Dick Lugar gets called to the principal's office

After Dick Lugar made that major speech yesterday saying that Iraq was unwinnable, the surge had failed, and an immediate change was necessary, I guess it should be no surprise that he got the summons.
Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), whose comments on Iraq have caused a huge ruckus in the Capitol today just told reporters that the White House called him to ask for a meeting. Lugar would not say who he is meeting with or when it would happen, but all indications are that it will be National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley and it will take place later in the week.

Now, some other GOP players are beginning to back Lugar. "Sen. George Voinovich said Tuesday the U.S. should begin pulling troops out of Iraq." John Warner and Jeff Sessions also.

That meeting may come too late for the White House.
