Al Bundy should be fired up...
This morning in his opening statements before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) said, “The American people are far ahead of us” on what to do next in Iraq. “They’re not conflicted with the nuances of life. They understand what’s going on.” According to a recent Gallup Poll, 56 percent of Americans want a withdrawal from Iraq within a year.
Hagel chided his fellow colleagues for being too concerned about the politics of their Iraq positioning. “If you wanted a safe job, go sell shoes,” he said. Hagel concluded that all 100 Senators have a responsibility to take a position on escalation. “We owe it to those men and women that we continue to send in that grinder.”

Hagel said it right and he knows the ones that should be shoe salesmen. Now I like Al Bundy. His life was only about his high school years with 4 touchdowns in one game at Polk High. From there it was down hill all the way with Peggy on his arm. What 50 year old man do you know who still wears his high school football jacket.
I'm glad Hagel has spoken up but I think it was the people of his State that let him know they sent him to Washington to do what they want not what Bush wants.
I saw Hagel and it's about time these Republican grew baa......backbone on the Chimp.
Took him a while, 6 years later..And it is about time!
