Even Repubs, like Viet vet Chuck Hagel (R-Neb) are saying Bush is out of control, and admits a spineless Congress abrogated its responsibility. truthout.org Hagel voiced his disapproval Monday in a speech at the Gallup Organization World Conference in Omaha. "When the security of this nation is threatened, Congress and the American people give the president great latitude," he said. "We probably have given this president more flexibility, more latitude, more range, unquestioned, than any president since Franklin Roosevelt -- probably too much. The Congress, in my opinion, really abrogated much of its responsibility." Hagel, a senior member of the Foreign Relations Committee, voted last year to give the president the authority to attack Iraq but has frequently criticized Bush's execution of the war. Hagel has been especially critical of the lack of allies and United Nations support. Most people in other countries are too young to remember the good done by the United States in World War II and the Korean War, he said. "The great reservoir of pro-American good will that has existed in the world since World War II . . . that reservoir is now down very low."
