President Obama, so far, has only expressed vague hopes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Congress has been squabbling for months over a budget to run the federal government for a fiscal year that is almost half over,&#8221; Lugar said. &#8220;We argue over where to cut $100,000 million here and there from programs many people like. So here comes an open-ended military action with no-end game envisioned.<\/p>\n<p>With the Arab League already having second thoughts, and Turkey nixing NATO taking over, today there are even more questions. We also have to debate how all this effects the Saudis, Bahrain and Yemen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The facts are that our budget is stretched too far and our troops are stretched too far,&#8221; Lugar said. &#8220;The American people require a full understanding and accounting, through a full and open debate in Congress.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/fed\/dsc_0001.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Senator Dick Lugar visiting with Sister City International representatives: Dr. John Chodacki (far left), Stanley Barker (left) both of Fort Wayne and Aaron Goetz (far right) of Indianapolis.
