I think you should trust the wisdom of men like Hagel.

Guess I trust hagel as much as you trust our military leaders and their reporting of the facts. :-) Ed, My issue isn't: Who has the most and best relevant military experience? My issue is with politicians that use sound bites to advance their careers. He is doing it just like kerry and, this morning edwards, have done. It is okay to have opinions. We all do. Leadership needs to provide more than an opinion. Justification and rationale are essential if they expect their opinions to be accepted.
As far as Iraq is concerned and whether it will fall apart after we leave. Who knows. The Bush effort is to give them a chance at a form of democracy. Obviously, it won't come easy since those people have distrusted and killed each other for centuries. Finally, please don't mistake my opinion of hagel for the value I place on our troops. It pains me greatly when I look at the DOD press releases. It also tells me that each generation of Americans has been willing to stand up for their country.
