I\u2019m Barack\u2019s buddy!&#8221; tour in Iraq, and he hadsome advice for both presidential candidates. <\/p>\n<p>Senator Hagel&#8211; the &#8220;Wizard of Smart&#8221;&#8211; implored both McCain and Obama to &#8220;[q]uit talking about, &#8216;Did the surge work or not work?\u2019 or, &#8216;Did you vote for this or support this?'&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Now, it should be fairly obvious why Hagel wants thesurge talk to stop. There\u2019sa continual buzz in some quarters of the Drive-By Mediathat the Messiah,Lord Barack Obama The Most Merciful, might actually look kindly upon Hagel and elevate him to the vice presidency. So, every kiss thatHagel plants on Lord Obama\u2019s rear-endcounts. <\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, both Senator Hagel and Lord Barack Obama The Most Merciful voted against the troop surge. Both of them took turns bashing President Bush, questioning his decision to sendmore troops; and both thoughtthe military would fail to meet their objectives when the troop surge began &#8212; and they were both <emphasize>dead wrong<\/emphasize>.<\/p>\n<p>The overwhelming <emphasize>success<\/emphasize> ofthe military,beating back the terrorists in Iraq,is a glaring example of an incredible lack of judment from both Obama\u2019s and Hagel&#8211; and highlights their arrogance. So any wonder why Hagel wants talk of the surgeto disappear?<\/p>\n<p>As for you, Senator McCain, here\u2019s another one of your senate buddies&#8211; this one a fellow Vietnam vet&#8211; throwing <emphasize>you <\/emphasize>under the bus and running you over backward.
