Chuck Hagel comes to a conclusion about the Iraq war:
“There will be no victory or defeat for the United States in Iraq. These terms do not reflect the reality of what is going to happen there. The future of Iraq was always going to be determined by the Iraqis — not the Americans.Iraq is not a prize to be won or lost. It is part of the ongoing global struggle against instability, brutality, intolerance, extremism and terrorism. There will be no military victory or military solution for Iraq. Former secretary of state Henry Kissinger made this point last weekend.
The time for more U.S. troops in Iraq has passed. We do not have more troops to send and, even if we did, they would not bring a resolution to Iraq. Militaries are built to fight and win wars, not bind together failing nations. We are once again learning a very hard lesson in foreign affairs: America cannot impose a democracy on any nation — regardless of our noble purpose.
We have misunderstood, misread, misplanned and mismanaged our honorable intentions in Iraq with an arrogant self-delusion reminiscent of Vietnam. Honorable intentions are not policies and plans. Iraq belongs to the 25 million Iraqis who live there. They will decide their fate and form of government.”
Hagel has been stuck on stupid since the war began. He can stfu about “honerable intensions” and other such things as he never believed that for a second. Except for the “R” after his name Hagel is a died in the wool antiwar 60′s rebel – a cooler form of John Kerry.
Cripes, he’s even quoting Kissinger – give me a feaking break. He’s never supported the war and is the queen of the Vietnam comparison.
What the f-ck Chuck! We should just pack it up and split and effectually spit on the graves of those who gave their lives in the conflict? Like, “Hey thanks for your sacrifice, but heh, heh, you know what they say, “When the going gets tough, the chicken shits get running!”
The spike in violence is notable, but expected, especially after the Democrats won the house and senate. It’s no secret that the terrorists rubbed their nipples in ecstasy on November 8th, and are now ratcheting up the violence to force a withdraw. Hagle and the rest of the cut and run crowd are simply playing to their tune.
