Chuck Hagel Takes On McCain, Repeatedly Praises Obama
Wow, this is big news. Republican Senator, and close friend of John McCain, Chuck Hagel ripped into McCain tonight for repeated misleading statements about Obama’s stance on diplomacy:When asked about the current administration going to war with Iran in its last months, he said:If you engage a world power or a rival, it doesn’t mean you agree with them or subscribe with what they believe or you support them in any way. What it does tell you is that you’ve got a problem you need to resolve. And you’ve got to understand the other side and the other side has got to understand you.
I am confident that if Obama is elected president that is the approach we will take. And my friend John McCain said some other things about that. We’ll see, but in my opinion it has to be done. It is essential.
You’ve got the power of impeachment, now that is a very defined measure if you are willing to bring charges against the president at all. You can’t just say I disagree with him….This is quite a speech for a powerful Republican Senator to make.
