(IsraelNN.com) Jewish Republican party officials and the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) are among several groups that have called on U.S. President Barack Obama to rescind his appointment of former senator Chuck Hagel as co-chairman of his Intelligence Advisory Board.

Hagel made clear his attitude towards Israel when he spoke at the pro-Arab and self-proclaimed pro-Israel J Street lobby last week. He echoed President Obama’s previous statements that meeting the demand of the Palestinian Authority for a new Arab state within Israel’s current borders “is central, not peripheral, to U.S. vital security interests in combating terrorism.”

One potential Obama advisor who backed out following harsh criticism is Charles Freeman, who was nominated to head the sensitive National Intelligence Council of which Hagel will be co-chairman. Freeman’s history includes close financial ties with King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.

These people are not planning for a 2nd term.

Every move they make confirms that.

Pray. They may well be planning a big power grab.

They have absolutely no regard for popularity. That is a very dangerous situation.

NB: no regard for popularity - with mainstream Americans. They are keeping their base happy though.

Another flaming RINO exposed.

Who is Chuck Hagel? Is he related to that RINO asswipe from Nebraska who couldn’t find a single good thing to say about GWB?

[Yorktownpatriot]

Methinks he is the exact same asswipe that you refer to!

(Hagel) "echoed President Obama’s previous statements that meeting the demand of the Palestinian Authority for a new Arab state within Israel’s current borders “is central, not peripheral, to U.S. vital security interests in combating proliferating terrorism.”

Fixed it.

Very disturbing, but may very well be the case.
