Deja Vu All Over Again
Will Bunch at Attyhood compares the Shrubbery’s reading with LBJ’s State of Union of 01/10/1967: “E-Day”: It was 40 years ago today.
That may explain this reaction noted in the CNN report, Sparring senators threaten Iraq fund cut, filibuster:
One of those Republicans, Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel, showed his strong opposition to Bush’s plan Thursday during Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
“Madam Secretary, when you set in motion the kind of policy that the president is talking about here, it’s very, very dangerous,” said Hagel, a decorated Vietnam War combat veteran. “As a matter of fact, I have to say, Madam Secretary, that I think this speech given last night by this president represents the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam — if it’s carried out.”
About that filibuster, Harry Reid says that based upon the dozen Republican Senators who have spoken in opposition to the plan, he’s not concerned.
