Hagel calls Iraq 'replay of Vietnam'
Onmaha.com ^ | 7/29/06 | staff

Posted on 07/29/2006 11:21:39 AM PDT by pissant

Calling conditions in Iraq "an absolute replay of Vietnam," Sen. Chuck Hagel said Friday that the Pentagon is making a mistake by beefing up American forces in Iraq. U.S. soldiers have become "easy targets" in a country that has descended into "absolute anarchy," the Nebraska Republican and Vietnam combat veteran said in an interview with The World-Herald. Hagel previously has likened the war in Iraq to Vietnam, but Friday's comments drew a stronger connection. They followed a speech on the Middle East that Hagel delivered at the Brookings Institution.

You need to register to get the full story, but one paragraph is enough.

Hagel, you are a chickensh*t punk. You were calling it another vietnam throughout 2005, despite the steamroller of democracy that ran through Iraq.

You use Vietnam as your frame of reference for everything, you piece of garbage. You are as pathetic as John Kerry and Murtha, doing your best to be seen as a critic of the President. IF you think this enhances your chances to become president, you are even more retarded than I thought. STFU

Hagel is a liar.

Hagel is a fraud.

Nebraskans were lied to and this turncoat will try to run for President and not seek another Senate term.

He is a tool of the left and a disgrace to America.

The terrorists thank him for his support.

I think the Cornhusker state needs to get their pitch forks out.

He is a leftist, from everything I can tell about him. And the other spineless senators need to grow a spine and come down on the POS like a ton of bricks.

We are repeating the same mistakes as Vietnam. Letting opposition-politicians send out a message of disunity and despair, and the free reign of the MSM places the USA in a bad light by stressing the bad and putting a muzzle on the good. The news cycle feeds further problems. We fight only quasi-wars now, and will never win another decisive victory as long as this philosophy is dominant.

I was trying to barf on him, but I couldn't get the picture placement right.

Mission Accomplished"

Well if your mission was to show how utterly ignorant of both current ground truth in Iraq and that the banner was WELCOMING THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER ABE LINCOLN HOME AFTER IT ACCOMPLISHED IT DEPLOYMENT MISSION , you have accomplished both tasks admirably.

You're exactly right! Hagal DID lie to us!

I still can't believe I voted for this phlem-wad!

He never has replied to ANY e-mails I've sent to his office regarding questions about our troops. Sad.

I will not blame the good people of Nebraska for Hagel as I will not blame the good people of South Carolina for Graham.

These pigs turned on a dime after they were recently elected.

They used President Bush during election time and now show their true colors.

Payback is a bitch.

Graham goes down in 2008.

Hagel chickens out in 2010 after being annihilated in 2008 in a Prez run.
