Iraq clusterfuck: Hagel gives the Beltway Dems cover
Apparently, only a Republican can say the unsayable. And get SCLM coverage, that is:
Hillary? Evan? Joe? All you "responsible" Beltway Dems? Perhaps you need to reconsider your carefully crafted positions? And to think of all that money you threw away on consultants....
Here's a Republican saying the best way to support the troops is to bring them home—better get on the bandwagon before it's too late!
"We're past that stage now because now we are locked into a bogged-down problem not unsimilar, dissimilar to where we were in Vietnam," Hagel said. "The longer we stay, the more problems we're going to have."
Allen said that unlike the communist-guided North Vietnamese who fought the U.S., the insurgents in Iraq have no guiding political philosophy or organization. Still, Hagel argued, the similarities are growing.
"What I think the White House does not yet understand - and some of my colleagues - the dam has broke on this policy,," Hagel said. "The longer we stay there, the more similarities (to Vietnam) are going to come together."
