nothing clever to say

For now… From USATODAY:

Vietnam veteran Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., has issued an emotional appeal to his colleagues this morning to challenge President Bush and the administration over plans to send an additional 21,500 troops to Iraq, USA TODAY’s Kathy Kiely reports from Capitol Hill.

At a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on a non-binding resolution that opposes Bush’s plan, Hagel said:

• “We owe it to those men and women we continue to send into that grinder.”
• “I think all 100 senators should be on the line on this. … If you want a safe job, go sell shoes.”
• “If we don’t debate this, we’re not worthy of our country.”
