Bush Requests Troop Surge

In last night’s speech, Bush proposed a troop surge in Iraq. The response from Congress will surely be indicative of things to come. Anyone to guess what will happen? Will Congress pull the purse strings in defiance, or avoid the gridlock and move forward?

Comment:
Chuck Hagel is a good guy but I have to say I was surprised by his reaction to Bush’s new plan. I expected him to be more supportive.

If you didn’t hear Chuck Hagels’ response to the new plan, you might want to check it out. Its likely the most significant response, considering he’s such a prominent republican. Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska
