Highly Classified Intel Document Shows Iraq Failure

In fact, even their best-case scenario for Iraq’s future is grim.

The situation in Iraq prompted harsh comments from Republicans and Democrats at a hearing into the shift of spending from reconstruction to security. Senator Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, called it “exasperating for anybody look at this from any vantage point,” and Senator Chuck Hagel, Republican of Nebraska, said of the overall lack of spending: “It’s beyond pitiful, it’s beyond embarrassing. It is now in the zone of dangerous.”

Note to Rove: Hagel is one of those decorated Vietnam vets who says Kerry is a hero. SMEAR HIM.
