Six Years Ago, Chuck Hagel Told the Truth About Iraq

By Michael Moore

You might have seen that on Monday President Obama will likely nominate former Sen. Chuck Hagel, a Nebraska Republican, to be Secretary of Defense.

But what you probably haven't seen – because everyone has forgotten – is that back in 2007, Chuck Hagel went totally crazy and told the truth about our invasion of Iraq. Here's what he said:

"People say we're not fighting for oil. Of course we are. They talk about America's national interest. What the hell do you think they're talking about? We're not there for figs."

Maybe not......Not if it was accidental......Accidental seems to be the ONLY way a thuglican is capable of speaking truth......Having said that I must add,that attempting to predict,using reason and rational thought,what a rethuglican will do,is all too often an exercise in futility.......Mostly,I think it boils down to them doing what their owners tell them to do......
