More than 200 Nebraska American Legion members, who have seen war and conflict themselves, fell quiet here Saturday as Sen. Chuck Hagel bluntly explained why he believes that the United States is losing the war in Iraq.

Sen. Chuck Hagel addresses more than 200 Nebraska American Legion members in Grand Island on Saturday.

The American Legion members should have brought duct tape for his mouth. I'm sure this will be on terrorist TV in no time. How could they sit there silently while this clown is encouraging our enemies?

The report seems to indicate that he was well received in his comments. I. too, have heard many former military (Korea era) talk about not sending in enough troops. They are not oppoed to the effort, they just believe a greater force would be better in the long run. When I read of the high numbers of people coming in from other countries, I often wonder if more troops would not help to seal the border areas to prevent the influx from continuing. However, I am not military, so I don't know how I can judge these things except by hoping and praying that those in charge are not making a mistake on any of these issues.
