Yea, what's up with him? He's been nagging the administration for a while now.

The Vietnam vet has compared Iraq to Vietnam. The longer U.S. forces remain in Iraq, he said, the more it begins to resemble the Vietnam war.

About Last years Israeli bombing of Lebanon-- he questioned how that would give us the trust and credibility to lead a lasting and sustained peace effort in the Middle East?"

He's been critical of the administration for their current posturing against Iran.

Recently he's said they have failed the country. Hagel said he would give the Bush-Cheney administration "the lowest grade of any I've known."

Hmmm, I wonder why he's retiring?
