I'm glad you realize that possibility ;-) You can tell from my homepage how I feel about McCain. I'm dumbfounded that Hoekstra is so against Hayden. I'm sick of the Presidential backstabbing. For him to have gone on Fox News Sunday and ripped the President's choice is shameful. I realize they don't all need to march in lockstep on many areas, but the GOP is in desperate need of showing some unity and Presidential support.
Hoekstra's argument is flawed and he should have had the common decency to air his concerns privately, giving the administration a chance to explain and make their case before blasting it on national t.v. All Hoekstra did was hand over more ammunition to democrats who are trigger happy enough as it is. I've gotten so disgusted with most politicians lately that its a real gut check for me to have the desire to follow what's going on day to day.
The argument that Hoekstra makes isn't a good one. We haven't been in THIS kind of war...ever. The CIA needs to be primarily keeping track of Al Qaeda and like minded groups as well as the capabilities of the Russians, Chinese, Iranians and North Koreans. All of which present primarily military problems. What am I missing? And was the disagreement SO great that he couldn't have kept if private?
Absolutely right. Wasn't there a time when issues were discussed like grownups behind closed doors? I have no problem with this guy being unhappy with this choice, I have a BIG problem with the way he's handling himself.
