He is running for reelection isn't he? This may be nothing more than campaign talk, realizing the public disenchantment with Bush. In the end, he votes Republican - so regardless that he says Bush's war is a loser, when it comes time to vote in the Senate for anything - he votes Republican party line. There is simply no reason to believe a Republican's word. Hagel is talking a lot these days, but I haven’t seen him do anything. He is running for reelection isn’t he?
