Chuck Hagel Says It Like It Is-Calls For IMMEDIATE Cease Fire

[kpete]

Republican Senator Chuck Hagel is calling for a cease fire in Lebanon:

"The sickening slaughter on both sides must end and it must end now," Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel said. "President Bush must call for an immediate cease-fire. This madness must stop." (snip)

"Our relationship with Israel is special and historic," he said. "But it need not and cannot be at the expense of our Arab and Muslim relationships. That is an irresponsible and dangerous false choice."

She says the pukes are starting to question things, but the dems. can't.
The dems. seem to think they have to support all the war excursions without question.
Wake Up Dems.!

4. But we aren't in Lebanon. We are in Iraq and Afghanistan

Why doesn't he start calling for cease fires in the countries we are killing people in?

Must not fit into the Republican party line.

9. Because it sounds hypocritical to be telling someone else to cease fire...

...and stop the killing while at the same time our own country is killing and torturing innocent people by the boatload.

10. Not yet-we are not YET in Lebanon. *'s plan is to roll all local conflicts

together in one region-wide, religious war.

Once the front of attack has been unified and eastern and western theaters of conflict joined in the middle, certain advantages will accrue :

Criticize his war in Iraq and YOU'RE THREATENING ISRAEL'S RIGHT TO EXIST!
Criticize our permanent occupation of Iraq and YOU'RE SIDING WITH HEZBOLLAH!
If you wonder why Lebanon is to be occupied when, in fact, Israel is the side that can't seem to stay in its borders, then YOU'RE SIDING WITH IRAN AND NAZI GERMANY!

7. Israel is shooting itself in the foot with this war. A friend would advise

a cease fire.
