[lbo-talk] the Hagelian view

[Doug Henwood]

[the FT often describes him as "the thoughtful" Chuck Hagel - from  
The Note]

ABC News' Z. Byron Wolf reports that Sen. Hagel reacted to President  
Bush's speech with a statement that is arguably more critical than  
any Democrat's statement. The Nebraska Republican uses some strident  
words, including "unwinnable swamp" and "wrongheaded" and "bog of  
Iraq," and "more American troops will make it worse."
