He's often described as a war hero, so that helped no doubt.

Hagel is really getting on my nerves.

He supported Cindy Sheehan too.

"Chuck Hagel (news, bio, voting record) is calling for the United States to open talks with Iran's new president"

- You don't negotiate with terrorists, terrorist sympathizers, terrorist financers and terrorist instigators who have openly called for our destruction, death to all Jews and world Islamic domination.

Is this guy retarded?

What a fool. Nebraska should be ashamed, about as ashamed as we are of Lindsey Graham.

Like McCain, he is trying to appear "moderate" to prepare for the 2008 Presidential primaries. "Moderate" = sellout.

Hagel just got himself a spot on the talk shows for the weekend and endless favorable coverage from the MSM.

Yes we do. We negotiate with the Chinese - - there's a textile quota negotiation with the Chinese going on right now, in San Francisco. Yet the Chinese have threatened to nuke Taiwan (if nuking a country isn't "terrorism," what is?

"Republican Party foreign policy expert Sen. Chuck Hagel"

Of course what makes him an "expert" to the MSM is that he's so snide and snotty to Bush when it comes to foreign policy.

If he's such an "expert" on foreign policy, what makes him think some "reaching-out" statement to the new extremist Iranian president is going to have any success when many such statements in the past, even when made to the former supposed moderate Khathemi or however you spell it were totally rebuffed? And what of the Europeans getting exactly nowhere with the Iranians, indeed their soft touch diplomacy only resulting in the Iranians declaring they'll resume reprocessing of uranium?

Frankly Chucky, your taking the military option off the table is what's foolish. Every option must be available to us in dealing with unreasonable people. And this cretin running Iran and his Mullah puppeteers are most assuredly unreasonable people. Hopefully it won't come to needing a military option, but we should not undermine ourselves and all steps leading up to using a military last resort response by telling these animals that it's off the table! If sanctions don't work, what then Chucky? Just live with the Al Qaeda and terrorism supporting Iranian mullahs having nukes?? No way.

And no, no one is talking about an invasion Chucky. We're talking surgical airstrikes to take out Iran's nukes if it comes to that. You clearly are not ready for prime time Chucky if you're willing to take that off the table and allow the Iranians to feel they've got clear sailing into becoming a nuclear power.

Hagel has become an embarrassment. I hate him worse than Mother (F'n) Sheehan.

Did I wake up on the wrong side of the wormhole today? Democrats are saying we should use the threat of force to make Iran and North Korea give up nukes, and a Republican wants to make nice-nice with the Ayatollahs.

Somebody tell Scotty to quit fooling with the warp drive - reality is getting messed up.
