...returned a couple of weeks ago to brief his former colleagues on the progress the U.S. and Russia have been making on ridding the world of old, obsolete and unneeded nuclear warheads - a project Nunn conceived at the end of the Cold War with Indiana republican Richard Lugar and has in many ways become his life's work. Since then, the Nunn-Lugar program has dismantled and destroyed more nuclear weapons than are in the combined arsenals of China, France and Great Britain...

...that fact hides one other big political change since the November elections. Skepticism among Republicans about the President's thinking on Iraq has become reflexive. Over the past week, two Republican Senators, Richard Lugar of Indiana and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, indicated they were far from sold on the surge, and Chuck Hagel, a Vietnam veteran from Nebraska, called a surge "folly." A senior aide to a G.O.P. Senator told TIME that "requiring more troops without providing the goals or the message is a killer. It's a political killer...
