A leading Republican senator urged US President George W. Bush to call for an immediate ceasefire in the war between Israel and the militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon.
"The sickening slaughter on both sides must end now. President Bush must call for an immediate ceasefire. This madness must stop," Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel, a possible candidate in the 2008 presidential election, said on the Senate floor.
The Bush administration has been under pressure from Arab and European states to press Israel into halting its offensive, but has received relatively limited pressure from US lawmakers -- especially those in his own party -- to do the same.
Hagel said the US link to Israel was a "special and historic one." "But, it need not and cannot be at the expense of our Arab and Muslim relationships," he said.

Bet he said the same thing on the playground in grade school. ;)

In a race between Mrs. Bill Clinton and Chuck Hagel for president, I'd run to the polls and gladly vote for Mrs. Bill Clinton...that is how much I despise Hagel.

When did he get to be a "top" republican? Oh, I see, since he disagrees with Bush on this point that makes him a top republican to the dimwits.

Hagel is a RINO, and has been for some time.
Sad thing is I know the man.
