Hagel: Bush speech worst blunder since Vietnam

[dogday]

WASHINGTON, Jan 11 (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush's plan to send about 21,500 more U.S. troops to Iraq is the greatest U.S. foreign policy blunder since Vietnam, Nebraska Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel said on Thursday.

"I think this speech given last night by this president represents the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam if it's carried out," Hagel, a possible U.S. 2008 presidential candidate, told a congressional hearing. "I will resist it."

1. Overlooking the invasion itself? nt.

5. Exactly my thought.

That's not conviction speaking, that's campaign speaking.

2. Sounds like Chuck's really going to run

For now, I'll take it (attacking Bush).

3. If it's carried out... little did we know

That it had already begun.

Good to see so many Republicans waking up to whiff the cappuccino.

4. Hagel the money man!

Watch for him in 2008.

6. Hagel, not McCain or Guiliani, would be the toughest republican to beat in '08

7. I hope Hagel is the Republican nominee

At least then IF we lose (which I doubt at this point), I won't fear for a nuclear holocaust.

Giuliani scares me a little. Look how he treated his ex-wives.

McCain truly frightens me. He looks mentally unstable. Even people on the right agree he is not fit to be President. The Darth Vader/Luke Skywalker tirade and his outbursts suggest mental illness.

8. Reid said it was NOT the worst mistake since Viet Nam ...

Tells interviewer from NPR: It is the WORST mistake in US history EVER.

9. *Blunder* is a highly refined lifestyle for this asshole.

Look up blunder in the dictionary and it will probably have his photo beside it.
