Hagel piles on

Senator Chuck Hagel piled on to the Bush White House yesterday at a Council for Foreign Relations event in New York.
Hagel, who considered running for the GOP presidential nomination as an antiwar candidate, told the foreign policy experts that he would give the Bush administration “the lowest grade of any I’ve known.”
“I have to say this is one of the most arrogant, incompetent administrations I’ve ever seen or ever read about,” Hagel said, according to our colleague Robert Kaiser, who attended the speech. In case his audience didn’t get the point, Hagel also said: “They have failed the country.”
He’s absolutely right, of course, but few among the GOP recognize that.
