Introducing Senator Chuck "Kennedy" Hagel

If Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) were in charge of World War II, the entire world would be speaking German today. In language that you would expect to hear from Ted Kennedy, Hagel compares Iraq to Vietnam and uses defeatism to explain that we are losing and actually doing more harm than good.

"I think our involvement there has destabilized the Middle East. And the longer we stay there, I think the further destabilization will occur."

That's right - the U.S., rather than radical Muslims, destabilized the Middle East. Perhaps Hagel is right in one respect comparing Iraq to Vietnam - certain political leaders in our country have absolutely no fortitude to do what is right, but rather what is politically expedient.
