Hagel: Begin Iraq withdrawal within 6 months

What's the guy's name?

[Chuck54]

I was thinking more along the line of Representative Sam Johnson from Texas.

A decorated war hero, Johnson was awarded two Silver Stars, two Legions of Merit, the Distinguished Flying Cross, one Bronze Star with Valor, two Purple Hearts, four Air Medals, and three Outstanding Unit Awards.

[MikeA]

Point taken.

[LeoWindhorse]

I don't mind if we withdraw from Iraq , as long as we leave both Syria and Iran as smoking heaps of rubble at the same time . Hand them NO victory whatsoever

[Chuck54]

I forgot to add:

Rep Johnson ........ He spent nearly seven years as a prisoner of war, half of that time in solitary confinement.

I find it amazing that people who have never been throughout the country of Iraq are able to make statements such as "American troops....are seen as occupiers".How the Hell does Senator Hagel know that?I sometimes wonder if members of the Iraqi Parliament sit around all day and pontificate on the homicide rate in Philadelphia.

[Chuck54]

Yes, Mr. Johnson is the real deal, not a MSM manufactured Vietnam hero.

:)

[MikeA]

I'll add Rep. Johnson who I confess I've never heard of to the McCain exception in terms of not being defeatist on natl. security. Unfortunately Johnson and McCain's voices for remaining steadfast are drowned out and ignored by the media in favor of the Kerry/Hagel/Murtha defeatists.

[Rocko]

Ben Nelson.

Not a single DINO in the Senate nowadays. Lieberman is pro "War Against Terrorism" but otherwise he's pretty much straight liberal. Yeah, you'll get one or two DEMS voting for the tax cuts, etc. once in a while but they aren't really DINO's. They are in very Red states and know that they will lose their job if they voted otherwise on some issues. Once they get reelected they pretty much go back to their liberal voting ways until it gets closer to the end of their 6 year term. Talk about real "mind-numbed robots".

[pissant]

Stuff a sock in it Hagel. Better yet, a box of DCON

[July4th64]

When can we begin the withdrawl of Chuck Hagel from the senate? I think if we did that we probably WOULD be able to bring home our troops earlier.

[Wuli]

Hagel, Condi's friend I am told. Hmmmm!!!

[headstamp]

YES!

[Suzy Quzy]

Sad Sack Hagel can't buy a clue!!

[R.W.Ratikal]

The U. S. will leave Iraq someday unless we are willing to take care of that country indefinitely.

We can do no more for the Iraqi people than we have done even if we stay there for a hundred more years. We have removed Saddam, helped them to adopt a written constitution, a democratically elected government, invested more billions than the entire country is worth, and trained their army. Why not leave now?

But first, we should take over the oilfields and place them under a U.S. protectorate.

Iraq, less we forget, is a Muslim country. Let's leave and let them go back to killing each other as they have been doing since time immemorial.

[Redleg Duke]

Hagel's old man should have considered an early withdrawal...like before conception occurred!

[uncbob]

Why not leave now?

Look at a map
I believe that country to the east is called Iran

How to you propose we ever get to Iran when the time comes that it is necessary

[Candor7]

Hagel. Moron and Unpatriotic Wimp. Willing to leave the Iraqui people out to die, yet willing to send money to UNESCO to help the starving children. Obviously his liberal generosity has limits, and those limits are at the point when Republicans can name success in Oraq.

Do NOT be fooled. The Dems. like Chick know how successful we have been in Iraq, they will never be able to admit it, because if they do, they automatically become losers. The Dem job is to MAKEURE we fail in Iraq.

That is why Chuck and others like him should be ferociously attacked in the press as traitors to their nation, and to the cause of freedom.

CUT and RUN bastids.
