Hagel Needs Fourth Graders to Support His Foreign Policy

"Do you think I should run for President?" - Senator Chuck Hagel
YAAAHHH - a bunch of fourth graders

I am sure glad that Senator Hagel has the entire non-voting age demographic all wrapped in Kearney. That is about all the citizens of Nebraska that probably think it is a good idea for him to seek a presidential nomination. In addition he roles in front of the UNK campus and rants and raves, of course, receiving applauds. The liberals and those alike complain of Bush and Cheney always speaking in front of military. Well, where does one go to complain about the neo-cons and their lust for Middle Eastern oil? Shoot, academia of course!! I honestly think that Hagel is starting to believe the gibberish that Bush lied us into Iraq. "We blundered into Iraq because of flawed intelligence, flawed assumptions, flawed judgments and questionable intentions." That sure as hell sounds familiar. The Dems and the anti-war "moderates" must love Chuck. I bet his phone rings all the time with calls asking him to come speak because he can "reach across the aisle." For some reason or another, I get the feeling for some of these Republicans and other conservatives that seem to be jumping ship, its all peer pressure. These politicians feel like they may be left out in the cold without a book contract if they don't pull their support of tax cuts and/or the Iraq war. Also, I sometimes think that Hagel got on a roll one day, and now he has gone so far forward with this, he can't backtrack now, or he'll get slaughtered come election time. He has formed his platform and now he's gotta go with it. Smooth move, EXLAX.
One more thing, Hagel's best quote of the day. "I’m absolutely opposed to sacrificing more young Americans in a sectarian civil war," and Hagel revealed he’ll be traveling to Iraq for the fifth time, probably in March. On the airplane, Hagel said he “need(s) to talk to some sergeants and privates” while he’s there, not just depend on briefings from high-ranking U.S. military and civilian officials and Iraqi leaders. I sure hope he asks those privates and sergeants over there whether or not ass-hole politicians in DC should pull them out of Iraq so that their comrades' sacrifices would be in vain.
