Guest Sid9 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 In January 2007, Hagel openly criticized President Bush's plan to send an additional 20,000 additional troops to Iraq. He called it, "the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam, if it's carried out." Together with Democrats Joseph Biden and Carl Levin he proposed a non-binding resolution to the Democratic- controlled Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which rejected Bush's policy as "not in the national interest" in a 12-9 vote.... .... After an April 2007 visit to Iraq with Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Joe Sestak, Hagel expressed his belief that the occupation of Iraq should not continue indefinitely and defended Congressional actions to set a timeline for an end in occupation. In July 2007, Hagel expressed his intention to cooperate with Senate Democrats in voting for a bill that would set a timeline to get out of Iraq. In November 2007, he rated the Bush administration "the lowest in capacity, in capability, in policy, in consensus -- almost every area" of any presidency in the last forty years.... ....he said, "I have to say this is one of the most arrogant, incompetent administrations I've ever seen or ever read about."

The neocon philosophy is one of designed incompetence. To them, government should not provide solutions to problems, nor in any way contribute to the general welfare of society - this is counter to their mantra and in their eyes is the path to their biggest fear - communism. They want government to be ineffective because they resent people's reliance on it for anything, so they sabotage successful programs where they can, and under-fund at every opportunity and stonewall instead of being proactive in situations like Katrina, for instance. It's truly a sadistic clan that's running the country right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obama would not have invaded and occupied Iraq, and 4000 American military troops, along with 600,000 or so Iraqis, would not have died for nothing.
