War in Iraq: Comments by US Senator Chuck Hagel

US Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) told the Nebraska American Legion that the US is losing the Iraq War for several reasons. According to the Omaha World-Herald, Hagel said the Bush Administration sent in "too few troops" to fight the war, terrorists are "pouring into" Iraq, "basic living standards are worse than a year ago in Iraq ... Allies aren't helping much .... [and] it will all plunge into another Vietnam debacle ... The point is, we're going to have to make some changes or we will lose, we will lose in Iraq."

michael mccafferty comments:

Chuck Hagel is not a Washington liberal. Senator Hagel served in Viet Nam and is a highly decorated veteran. Hagel is a conservative Republican and potential Presidential candidate for 2008. In other words one should take Senator Hagel's words seriously.

While I truly want President George W. Bush to succeed in Iraq it is my heartfelt hope that the Bush administration will pay heed to Senator Chuck Hagel.
