Chuck Hagel is a self-promoting backstabber. "The Street" in Nebraska says his battlefield experience gives him bona fides the other war critics lack.

Horsecrap.

Hagel has to know better than anyone that our withdrawl from Vietnam -- and the ensuing slaughter -- was a political move, not a military one. Now he's condemning us to repeat the same mistake in Iraq.

He learned absolutely nothing from his battlefield experience, except how to play to an audience.

I'm not certain about the "street" but I l know conservative friends who feel he's a self serving danger to US security.

Make that "how to play to the press." That's alot easier and that's the route Hagel has taken. What a sorry SOB.

Hagel is bought and paid for by the Muslims. The Muslims set up and contributed to Hagel's Sandhills PAC, the same Muslim family that was associated with Joe Wilson and Rock Creek. How Republicans in Nebraska can support this man is mind boggling.

Liberals and gutless RINOs like Hagel never mention the aftermath of Vietnam, the thousands who died at the hands of communists. The minute we withdraw, the media will cease their coverage of Iraq, much like they did to South Africa when apartheid ended but crime skyrocketed.
