Cenk Uygur on The Huffington Post: Draft Hagel for Defense

At this point, nearly everyone agrees that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld should be fired (with the obvious exception of Vice President Dick Cheney, and hence, the President). Republican Senators like John McCain and Trent Lott have called for his dismissal. Nearly every Democrat in Congress believes he should be fired.

Even neoconservatives like Bill Kristol have turned on him. But the question isn’t whether Rumsfeld should be fired – it’s who replaces him?

Whoever replaces the Secretary will hopefully lead the Iraqi operation in a new direction that it desperately needs. If someone just like Rumsfeld comes in place of Rumsfeld, nothing will have been accomplished.

I have a suggestion. It is a man who originally supported the war, who has been strong critic of how the Defense Department has handled the war, who is a conservative Republican and who has fresh ideas about the war. Senator Chuck Hagel.

Realistically, you know the President isn’t going to pick someone outside the Republican Party for this position, nor is he going to pick anyone who disagreed with the Iraq war in the first place. But he can pick someone who has been a rock-solid conservative and someone who at least has constructive ideas on the war.

This plan should have political appeal for everyone involved. Senator Hagel gets to take an important position in the administration and bolster his resume for his possible presidential run in 2008. The administration gets to quiet their strongest critic inside the Republican Party by bringing him into the fold. They also get to bring everyone inside the GOP together by showing a willingness to include dissenters and still stay strong....

I found this article on the Huffington Post (I know, I know, but it can be quite amusing and, occasionally, interesting.) The author of this article, Cenk Uygur, hosts a radio show that I listen to on occassion called The Young Turks. It's about as crazy as you can get. But I think in this article he says something interesting... I completely agree that Rumsfeld needs to get out. But what about Chuck Hagel as his replacement? It stays in the Republican hands, but even I, a stonch Republican, think that we need to take a different approach to the war, and I think Hagel could be the ultimate answer. Plus, as the author mentions, this could only help Hagel in his potential run for President in 2008 -- and if he does a good job handling this position, I think we could pull some liberals over to our side with him. It's a great solution.

We don't need them, we don't even want them. Liberalism is a mental disease.

Chuck Hagel is an disloyal idiot RINO that is interested only in generating pr for a presidential run. What a great idea to put him in the cabinet running the Iraq war. That'll make things better.

Pray tell, what constructive idea has Mr. Hagel ever contributed to the Iraq War dialog other than, "listen to me whine, I should be president!!"
