Chuck Hagel rips Rumsfeld a new one
Edited on Sun Dec-19-04 11:01 AM by quaoar
Hagel was on Face The Nation with Sen. Jack Reed, D-RI, and Saxby Chambless, Idiot-Ga.

The subject was Rumsfeld, in whom Hagel said he had no confidence.

He said that at the Pentagon, the idea of "The Buck Stops Here" is just something you find on a bumper sticker.

And then he said that it was atonishing that Rumsfeld has not been personally signing letters to the families of dead soldiers and that it shows just how out of touch he is.

Chambliss, on the other hand, spent his time making excuses for Rumsfeld.

3. Exactly
Wake me up when these so-called mavericks start placing the blame where it ultimately belongs - in the White House.

4. It Political
I think the Republican like Chuck Hagel and John McCain are critizing Rumsfeld now because they want to run for president in 2008.
