I just saw the headline this morning, Hagel puts screws to Petraeus, or some such nonsense. Basically Hagel is saying he doubts the general's testimony, blah blah blah etc etc etc. You know, how he got himself into this position in the first place, essentially becoming a casualty of Petraeus's winning strategy. He set himself up to lose if we win. Way to go Chuck. And he just keeps piling on. Obviously, he knows better than the good general, he is, after all, a US Senator.
I also remember reading some ridiculous story many weeks ago, John Bruning (I think) had returned from Iraq, and basically said 'uh, guys, the country really is not on fire' and of course Chucky slammed him down, saying that, since Gen. Hagel was a soldier, he knows better, and it would be best if John would just be realistic, please. While that is obviously stylized, the point was that Chuck said he knew better because he was once a soldier in a war. ok then.
