She's been a blathering Dingbat for the last several years. Must be the Prozac.

Talk about phoning it in. 60% of her column is a direct quote from Hagel's speech.
To: quidnunc
Hagel exhibited no courage in supporting this unefroceable bs. None, nada, zip. Hagel would exhibit courage if he voted against General Petraeus, if he voted to withdraw all funding and bring the troops home but it takes no courage to vote for non binding resolutions. Voting for non binding resolutions that demoralize the troops, condemn the CIC for reinforcing those same troops and then being showered with accolades for courage is laughable.
And just where the hell was Chuck and the rest of Congress when we were sent packing in Mogadishu? When the USS Cole was bombed? When our embassies were blown up? And finally where was the courage to declare war on bin Laden and Al Qaeda when they made it official and declared war on us in 1998?

Yep Chuck Hagel and real profile in courage/sarc.
Peggy Noonan thinks she's the smartest girl in the room and I'm sure is impressed with her intellectual heft in picking Chuck Hagel as the bravest man in DC.

Sad Sack Hagel....what a PATHETIC bag of SKIN.
To: quidnunc
Peggy got it wrong, the resolutions were not about the President or the conduct of the War. Instead, its a direct message to the killers and terrorist in Iraq and elsewhere. What it says quite clearly is that victory is at hand, don`t stop now, just keep killing a few more American everyday and we, along with our allies in the MSM, will have the US Troops out of there by fall. Oh, that`s not what it says, well, maybe not, but guarantee you that`s how it was heard in Iraq and Iran.

(IF THE RATS WIN, WE ALL LOSE)
To: quidnunc
I thought she did that a couple articles ago, when she put down President Bush's policy change in Iraq, wondering why did he ignore the salvation offered by the ISG? I have considered Peggy Noonan a wonderful writer for years, but her thinking on Iraq has become very skewed.

Noonan has been riding along with the Buchanan types for a while now. There was a time, I enjoyed her writings but the last two years or so she has gone out of her way to bash the President.
I've been finished with her for quite some time now.

She appears to have made a slight left turn in the last year. No idea why.

To: quidnunc
I don't read anything that Peggy Noonan writes anymore. She has had her nowe in a snit ever since Bush turned down her offer to write his speeches for the 2004 election. Can you even imagine Bush talking in the wordy, flowery style of Peggy Noonan? He would have been a bigger joke than Al Gore in his brown suits. Peggy may as well move over to the left if she thinks that Granny knows best.

Whatever useful thoughts or comments Peggy once could write disappeared. Irrevocably, her insight left her. Is it devil rum, the Irish disease, writer's block, or some other affliction? I do not know. What cannot be denied is that Chuck Hagel is an empty vessel unworthy of anything beyond passing interest or consideration of how he's vainly going to try to hurt the US and help our enemies while posing as the ultimate Vietnam Veteran. He's Michael Moore lite from a tactical standpoint, but his waist is smaller and on the surface he's less repulsive.
