Hey, let's add some quotes from Sen. Lugar and Sen. Hagel and Gen. McPeak. Davo has to be really miffed at Hagel and George Will after this weekend, but cut them some slack, those poor guys can hardly be as well informed as Davo.



Hagel is losing touch with reality. In addition, he is also running for president in 2008 and he's positioning himself as the rogue Republican who is going to solve everyone's problems.

I don't know what Lugar or McPeak said, and I just glanced over Will's column, so I can't comment on what they said.

This isn't to say that we don't have problems in Iraq; we certainly do. But to draw a general parallel between Iraq and Vietnam is ridiculous.
