Senator Hagel Disagrees with the WH about the War, and in another interview says "you might see calls for his impeachment"

Senator Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos on Sunday morning, had some interesting things to say about the War and the President.

Hagel disagrees that "right now we're actually seeing the increasein forces actually start to deliver some results in Baghdad," as theWhite House has argued.

"No, I don't see that," Hagel told Stephanopoulos. "In fact, thereare more incidents, not less. Sure, in parts of Baghdad, in overallBaghdad, over the last two or three weeks, we have seen some fewer, butnot around the country. Look at what happened two days ago, one of thetwo vice presidents of Iraq was attacked there at his own compound andis lying mortally wounded in a hospital."

In an interview published in April's edition of Esquire Magazine, (video of Hagel  telling  the Senators  "If you wanted a safe job, go sell shoes." is on the link as well)   Senator Hagel said to  Charles P. Pierce

"The president says, 'I don't care.' He's not accountable anymore. He'snot accountable anymore, which isn't totally true. You can impeach him,and before this is over, you might see calls for his impeachment. Idon't know. It depends how this goes."

Senator Hagel is considering running for President in 2008, maybe this is all "politics as usual" to help him in his campaign, or maybe his conscious is leading him down the right path, let's hope for the latter.
