“the president saw in Chuck Hagel somebody who shared his (lets be charitable) studied neutrality on the Israel/Palestine dispute, his skepticism about the desirability of American power projection . . .”
I don’t think Zero has any problem with American power projection. He just wants to make sure it’s projected for the wrong purposes.
Senator Jim Inhofe asked Chuck Hagel why the Iranians had endorsed his nomination for secretary of defense:
“Given that Iran, the people Im quoting right now from Iran people of the Middle East, the Muslim region and North Africa, people of these regions hate America from the bottom of their heart,” said Inhofe. “It further said Israel is a cancerous tumor in the heart of the Islamic world. They further said Irans warriors are ready and willing to wipe Israel off the map. The question Id like to ask you, and you can answer for the record if youd like, why do you think the Iranian foreign ministry so strongly supports your nomination to be the Secretary of Defense?”

I have not seen any criticism of Hagel that actually called him stupid. I’ll do it, he’s stupid.

I like the line I saw yesterday....He certainly won’t be asked to bring the potato salad to the Mensa picnic.
Where was Graham during Kerry’s questioning?
Must have been first in line to kiss his ass.
Susan Rice was clearly Obama’s first choice for SecState, but was forced out by the Conservative blogs before she was nominated.
Now, Chuck Hagel, Obama’s fellow traveler on support for Iran, the Islamic Brotherhood, anti-Israel terror groups, and anti-Zionism.
The political damage for Obama?
Zero, as always.
