Did I miss the memo? This is for confirmation of USA Sec Def not Israel’s SecDef? I don’t meddle in Israeli internal affairs and I wish they would not meddle in ours either.
But what do I know? I’m just a USA taxpayer who pays his bills and donates his taxes to whatever lobbyists our “USA” pols deem as being a requirement to be a legitimate American.
Quit kissing Hagel’s behind. Chucky boy cares about one thing, and that’s Chucky. He’s as untrustworthy as Obama.
I don’t care how many wars he served in. John Kerry “served” too and he’s a miserable, lying POS. Serving in the military does not give you a lifetime pass.
To some, whom we nonsensically call neoconservatives, Israel is the 51st state (or if you’re Obama, the 58th). They are the West’s representative in the Middle East, and their national security is ours. Should they fall, we’d immediately be in existential danger.
I have no idea why anyone would actually believe this, unless imperialism and the National Security State/military-industrial complex is so important to them that they’ve tricked themselves into thinking one step back from a posture of imminent danger would doom us. Sorta like how the hint of spending cuts, beside defense, calls forth the specter of old people eating dog flood and ragamuffins roaming the streets to socialists’ minds.
