"We better be damn sure we know what we are doing...before we put 22,000 more Americans into that grinder."

I had heard about Senator Chuck Hagel's tirade against the President's plan for escalating the Iraq War but I hadn't actually seen it all. (My sister-in-law sent it to me - Thanks Rhonda!) It's pretty impressive straight talk to hear from any politician, let alone a Senator in the President's own party. (Of course, it would have been more helpful 4 years ago.) It's worth watching. Good for you, Senator. Go Huskers! Also, here is an interview with Hagel on how #^@%ed up things are right now.
