Republican Senator: Iraq Rebuilding Efforts 'Pitiful' By: blogic Posted: Thursday, September 16, 2004 on The Tide Goes Out Message Board: Politics From the BBC News Senator Chuck Hagel, a Nebraska Republican described the rebuilding effort in Iraq so far as "beyond pitiful". "It's beyond embarrassing, it's now in the zone of dangerous," he said. Bush is dangerously incompetent.

Why is this the ONLY Senator (Opps forgot Kerry) that's running his trap?

Actually, Richard Lugar (Republican-Indiana) also is "running his trap" on this. See below (from the link on Blogic's site).

"Our committee heard blindly optimistic people from the administration prior to the war and people outside the administration... that we just simply will be greeted with open arms," Senator Lugar said.

"The lack of planning is apparent."

*laugh* When Republicans don't drink the kool aid they are "running their traps." If Hagel had come out and said he though Iraq was super peachy, drmiler would want to buy the man dinner.

Drmiller, being in the military, you should be familiar with the phrase, "setting yourself up for failure".
