Hagel: This is going to take years and hundreds of billions of dollars and tens and hundreds of thousands of troops to sustain this effort. We must come to some reality. As Senator Biden said, the president, I do believe and I've said this a long time, the president must come before the American people and say that. SEN. CHUCK HAGEL: I do agree with it. I think the world would respond to our leadership. We have nothing to fear from our partners. My goodness, we're in this together. What the world wants to see is responsible American leadership that includes our friends and our allies and those who we are going to have work with over a long period of time if we are to win this war on terrorism and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. No one nation is big enough, great enough or powerful enough to do this alone. We need our friends and we'll need our friends for a long time. I don't know if a power or an individual who doesn't need friends. It's especially important in this kind of a world. pbs.org

Bush's greatest flaw is he never admits he makes mistakes. Therefore, he lies. And when you start lying, you have to keep lying to cover up the last lie. His nose grows longer and longer. Question is, which came first? The lies or the mistakes?

He may be meeting with him now, we're not privy to their communications... Hagel seems to make sense from what little I know about him, but how do we know internationalizing the reconstruction effort in Iraq isn't already part of the broader plan? I can't believe it wouldn't have been part of the initial plan... Iraq is a snake pit, and we have all those Iraqi people who have never seen life without terror and oppression, it won't be easy but it has to be done... GZ
