This clip of Chuck Hagel addressing the Senate Foreign Relations Committee yesterday has shown up on Olbermann, Crooks and Liars, and probably every other liberal blog on the planet, but I'm putting it here too. Score one for simple elegance and eloquence--and a Republican repudiating his colleagues for treating US forces in Iraq like plastic toy soldiers or, worse, cheap poker chips in a no-cash game to be raised and lost without real consequence. Go watch it right now.
