‘Will You Please Answer the Question’: McCain’s Fiery Exchange With Chuck Hagel Over the Iraq Troop Surge

John McCains Testy Confirmation Hearing Exchange With Chuck Hagel Over the Iraq Troop Surge

Sen. John McCain tangled with Chuck Hagel over the Iraq War surge during Hagel’s Senate confirmation hearing Thursday to be the next secretary of defense.

McCain (R-Ariz.) grilled his former colleague over his past stated opposition to the 2007 U.S. troop increase, particularly how he once calling it the “most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam.” Despite repeatedly being asked for a yes-or-no answer, the former Republican senator for Nebraska didn’t budge.

“Do you stand by those comments, Senator Hagel?” McCain asked.

“Well senator, I stand by them because I made them and — ” Hagel said.

“Stand by,” McCain interjected. “Were you right? Were you correct in your assessment?”

Hagel said he would “defer to the judgement of history” on that, but McCain didn’t let up.

“The committee deserves your judgement as to whether you were right or wrong about the surge,” he demanded. “I want to know if you were right or wrong. That’s a direct question, I expect a direct answer.”

When Hagel said the surge “assisted in the objective,” McCain charged again.

“Will you please answer the question: Were you correct or incorrect when you said that the surge would be the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in the country since Vietnam? Were you correct or incorrect yes or no?…I would like you to answer whether were you right or wrong, and then you are free to elaborate,” McCain said.

“I’m not going to give you a yes or no answer,” Hagel said.

“Well let the record show you refused to answer that question,” McCain said. “Now please go ahead.”

“Well if you would like me to explain why,” Hagel said.

“Actually I would like an answer, yes or no,” McCain fired back.

Hagel said again he wouldn’t do that, repeating that he would “defer that judgement to history.” He said instead that the comment was not strictly related to the surge but that it was more general about the war in Iraq.

“Our war in Iraq I think was the most fundamentally bad, dangerous decision since Vietnam,” Hagel said. “Aside from the cost that occured in this country in blood and treasure, aside from what that did to take our focus off of Afghanistan, which was the original and real focus of a national threat to this county — Iraq was not — I always tried to frame all the different issues before I made a decision on anything.”

Hagel added, “Now just as you said, senator, we can have differences of opinion but that’s essentially why I took the position.”

“It’s a fundamental difference of opinion, Senator Hagel.” McCain replied. “I think history has already made a judgment about the surge, sir, and you’re on the wrong side of it. And your refusal to answer whether you were right or wrong about it, is going to have an impact on my judgement on whether to vote for your confirmation or not.”

It takes a mature adult to take responsibility for failure / actions. Liberals are NOT capable of taking responsibility. They are Unprincipled, therefore they can NEVER be help to any standard or to any responsibility.

  Nominating this guy will signal that America is not serious about our national security or our allies.
  I hope clear thinking senators recognize the potential disaster.
  Obama nominating Hagel is one more step in bringing America down and into the one world group of countries led by the UN.
  I would feel extremely bad for our brave young men and women that would have to call this guy their boss.

  I do not always turn on my friends, but when I do; I prefer to reverse my long standing support for a valued friend – to achieve a “yes or no” slam dunk answer after asking; “when did you stop beating your wife” and, “what did you say about supporting Al Jazeera in 2009?”

  @ The Most
  
  I understand what you are trying to say in your comment but I think that you are missing the point.
  
  People can be wrong. Nobody is perfect. Senator McCain was asking Senator Hagel whether, with the benefit of hindsight, he considered his earlier position to be right or wrong.
  
  It is not a crime to be wrong, but it goes greatly to Senator Hagel’s character that he will not judge himself. If a leader makes an error of judgement and recognises it to be so, then he will benefit his nation reacts if he reacts immediately and admits it freely.
  
  Senator Hagel could have said that he was not wrong and given reasons. That would also have been acceptable if the reasons were cogent, whether not one agreed with him.
  
  His simple refusal to answer shone a light on a serious character flaw in a man seeking a key position in your government.

  I don’t always consider the “just answer Yes or No” ploy to bring out the essential True Character of a complex public figure being grilled by Senate hatchet men, but when I do; I prefer to judge Wayne LaPierre for evasively rambling on when asked “yes or no, have you changed your position on background checks” by Senator Patrick Lehey.

Was Iraq right or wrong? If I was preparing to go to war again radical muslims, I would have to realize that my targets would be in many countries located in the Middle East. Now, I have no true allies there except Israel. Where would I put my Army. Would I attack a nation I had never before fought or would I attack a nation I had previously defeated. Which would be weaker? Which one could I more easily defeat and would cause less death to my soldiers. Which enemy would I know better? I believe Iraq was the correct choice. The only problem is we haven’t defeated the true enemy yet. It’s a country called Iran. Are our forces still in place and able to launch an attack?

  I don’t care what your stance on the war in Iraq….WMD’s (or not), it was justified. I still remember seeing the message traffic coming in when I was in the middle of the Indian Ocean (Gonzo station) when the Kurds were gassed by Saddam.
  
  He was a mad-man, and needed to die….along with his sons.

  pre-emptive war based on a lie is never justified. This is why the american people continue to avoid the republican party.
  
  Iraq was not run by radical muslims. Iran has a few radical muslims in charge but the people of iran are far less radical muslim than the rest of the middle east. People of iran have a long, proud history and the people are very moderate in their views.

Overall I was slightly disappointed in Sen McCain’s questioning, in that he should have been ever stronger. I hope “Obama Care” covers surgeries repairing a**holes because Lindsey Graham just tore him a new one! In the opening comments he stated that he fully supports the President’s positions and those of the Joint Chief’s. Under direct questioning he seems to shy away from his past statements, has then admitted to having some existing conflicts with current policies, but says his votes clearly establish his beliefs. He cannot have it both ways.

  in my opinion, all the surge did was drive the extreme islamists to places like syria, pakistan, afganistan, lebonon, egypt, libya, etc. Just shuffling the deck chairs on the titanic. We then saw afganistan deteriorate and then arab spring
  
  But the Iraq surge cost money and troop fatigue – so it was probably a net negative

  Not even remotely funny. I don’t agree with McCains whimpish political leanings….but he endured five long painful years in the NVA POW system. Despite his father being an Admiral, he refused early release so as to deny the North Vietnamese a propaganda victory. He wouldn’t go until everyone could go.
  
  I strongly suggest you do a little reading about POW’s, particular from the Vietnam era. It will certainly open your eyes as to what these men endured. James Stockdale, himself a POW wrote a powerful book regarding his years in the POW system, you will find references to McCain and his conduct. You also might want to read about Everett Alverez….I believe he was one of the first, if not the first POW.
  
  There is also one man, an enlisted man, not an officer, and I cannot remember his name; who was ORDERED to take an early release by his superior officers in the prison system because he had memorized the names of all the POW’s. This was a way to get word back to the United States of who had been captured. Fascinating stories.
  
  No sir, your little “joke” is not funny AT ALL!

  Precisely. I don’t know how KidCharlemagne made the transition to the Teddy Kennedy “worshipping” when my point was his “joke” about wondering if the North Vietnamese would “take McCain back” was highly inappropriate. Politics aside, a veiled reference to wishing an American, any American to be imprisoned as a POW is despicable. I guess Kiddie, figures POW camps are all like those old Hogan’s Heroes episodes.
  
  Made my blood boil; but then again, I’ve read many books on the subject of Prisoner of Wars, and I do tend to focus on the Vietnam conflict in general. The NVA were brutal to the POW’s.

  I have to agree with Soybomb, Hagel answered the question. When McCain pressed him for a yes or no answere, Hagel gave the correct response because it would only be a matter of opinion as to whether Hagel was right or wrong. McCain was just being an ass. I had my doubts about Hagel, but when he starts talking about saving blood and treasure wasted in Iraq, I have to agree. Now get them the hell out of Afghanistan.

McCain is a freaking idiot. The ONLY reason John McCain cares about this issue is because he staked an entire presidential campaign around the Iraq surge. That is in fact how he got nominated by the republicans in 2007 cuz before the surge started temporarily going well – his campaign was going nowhere. John McCain is fighting for his legacy on this issue – nothing more. Good God, the republican party will never get passed the sins of Iraq War

John McCain asked one question “Do you stand by those remarks”. The first thing Hagel said was “Yes”. Then McCain interrupted with follow-up questions and would not let Hagel say anything otherwise. Watch the video. What a joke
