HAGEL HOUND: Where oh Where has our Senator Gone? Where oh Where Can He Be?
Have you noticed? For some unknown reason, the greatest military authority in American history has stopped sharing his wisdom with us. Where have you gone, Chuck Hagel?
Here is what Senator Sanctimony said, not so very long ago, in the Washington Post:
“There will be no victory or defeat for the United States in Iraq. . .”
Uh, huh.
“The time for more U.S. troops in Iraq has passed. We do not have more troops to send and, even if we did, they would not bring a resolution to Iraq. . .”
Yeah, that is just what I was thinking as well.
“The United States must begin planning for a phased troop withdrawal from Iraq. . . .It is not too late. The United States can still extricate itself honorably from an impending disaster in Iraq. . . If the president fails to build a bipartisan foundation for an exit strategy, America will pay a high price for this blunder — one that we will have difficulty recovering from in the years ahead.”
Marybell, this guy isn’t a politician, he’s a prophet.
Hagel once said that impeachment of the American President was an option because Bush refused to listen to the American people on Iraq.
No, Chuck, it wasn’t the American people he didn’t listen to. It was an American person he didn’t listen to. It was, uh, YOU.
And seeing what has happened since you published your WaPo editorial, Chuck, I guess we all can agree that it is a pretty darn good thing he didn’t.
