The "Straight Talk Express" Has Better Name

I know, what is a progressive blogger doing fraternizing with the "enemy"? But wisdom on Iraq comes from both sides of the aisle. Senator Hagel gets "big cojones" points for dressing down his fellow Senators.

On the Dems side, Wisconsin's Russ Feingold tells his colleagues that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee didn't rise to the occasion before the Iraq War, voting for the "bizarre" response to 9/11 that was the invasion of Iraq and, more importantly, that their toothless plans to oppose Bush's continuation of Iraq are equally irresponsible.
