WASHINGTON, Jan 11 (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush's plan to send about 21,500 more U.S. troops to Iraq is the greatest U.S. foreign policy blunder since Vietnam, Nebraska Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel said on Thursday.
"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," Hagel, a possible U.S. 2008 presidential candidate, told a congressional hearing. "I will resist it."

Republicans better hope that Chuck Hagel runs for president. After GWB's impending sacrificial "surge", the election will be about the war and little else. There is exactly one Republican candidate who has been on the right side of this war since the beginning, and that is Hagel, and that makes him the only electable Republican in 2008.
Chuck is prominently featured in my most recent YouTube effort "It's the war, stupid." and recent blog post of the same name.
