Senator Specter of PA has written an opinion piece in the Philadelphia Daily News outlining his opposition to the troop surge. His basic argument: pacifying Afghanistan will do little to reduce the terrorist threat and our allies (from NATO, to Pakistan, to Kharzai)  aren't committed to a winnable strategy.

With this piece, Specter has set himself up as the anti-Lieberman. Specter bolted to the Democrats out of fear for his reelection. And now, as he continues to face difficulties with winning the Democratic primary, he is moving even more to the left.
