The below is from the OpinionJournal.com from March 29, 2007, again it shows what hypocrites these people [Senators] are. And how easy they forget what they say [and how they wish we would forget it]. They need a "memory hole" like they had in the book "1984" where they just burned all the old documents so history could be re-written whenever they want to.
Gort! Klattu Barada Nikto!

At least two U.S. senators are space aliens, and this isn't one of
those supermarket-tabloid gags

heart attack.
On Dec. 20, 2002, Sens. Joe Biden of Delaware and Chuck Hagel of
Nebraska shared a byline on a Washington Post op-ed titled "Iraq: The Decade
After." Biden and Hagel, both of whom had voted two months earlier to
go to war with Saddam Hussein's regime, warned that it would not be an
easy undertaking and that America had to be prepared for a long-term
commitment:
*** QUOTE ***
Although no one doubts our forces will prevail over Saddam Hussein's,
key regional leaders confirm what the Foreign Relations Committee
emphasized in its Iraq hearings last summer: The most challenging phase will
likely be the day after--or, more accurately, the decade after--Saddam
Hussein.
Once he is gone, expectations are high that coalition forces will
remain in large numbers to stabilize Iraq and support a civilian
administration. That presence will be necessary for several years, given the
vacuum there, which a divided Iraqi opposition will have trouble filling and
which some new Iraqi military strongman must not fill. . . . Americans
are largely unprepared for such an undertaking. President Bush must
make clear to the American people the scale of the commitment.
*** END QUOTE ***
Today President Bush remains committed, while Biden and Hagel are among
the leaders of the effort to retreat. Their "decade" turned out to last
barely four years. The only plausible explanation is that the planet
Biden and Hagel are from revolves around its sun in the equivalent of
about 150 Earth days.
