Top Republican Asks Bush to Push for Immediate Lebanon Ceasefire
From AFP (via Yahoo):
WASHINGTON (AFP) - A leading Republican senator urged US President George W. Bush to call for an immediate ceasefire in the war between Israel and the militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon.My Comments:
"The sickening slaughter on both sides must end now. President Bush must call for an immediate ceasefire. This madness must stop," Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel, a possible candidate in the 2008 presidential election, said on the Senate floor.
The Bush administration has been under pressure from Arab and European states to press Israel into halting its offensive, but has received relatively limited pressure from US lawmakers -- especially those in his own party -- to do the same.
When did Chuck Hagel become a "top Republican"? I must've slept through that one.
There appears to be a direct relationship between the MSM's willingness to call a person a "top" or "leading" Republican and that person's willingness to bash President Bush.

I don't believe that Hagel was doing any Bush-bashing, but expressing an intolerance of the indiscriminate bloodshed in Lebanon.
I didn't say Hagel was Bush-bashing in this particular instance. I said Hagel is a Bush-basher.
