Hagel: Iraq = Vietnam

I disagree with Sen. Hagel on this, but his recent pronoucements are going to put real political pressure on Bush the way that Cindy Sheehan could only dream of.

By no stretch of the imagination do I think that it is "unpatriotic" to voice skeptism about the way that things are going, but at the same time I don't think one can reasonably dispute that vocal criticism from a high-profile member of the President's own party will provide some level of encouragement to the insurgency. This is just a price of democracy that we have no choice but to pay.
