Last month Senator Brownback was on the record supporting a troop increase in Iraq if the military wanted the troops..
Today the senator announced his opposition to the surge.:
"I do not believe that sending more troops to Iraq is the answer," Brownback said while traveling in Iraq. "Iraq requires a political rather than a military solution."
Brownback had previously supported a short-term surge of troops if it could help achieve long-term political stability, which the Bush Administration has said it hopes a troop surge will help achieve.
This is, at best, confusing.
And it is most definitely not the way to the Republican nomination. I hope the senator will reconsider.
