New footage of a speech by Chuck Hagel in 2008 has surfaced, in which the former Senator mocked the idea of continuing the U.S. policy of confronting Iran and supporting Israel. "When I hear the talk about--well you can’t talk with Iran, you can’t talk with Syria and we’re, we should stay where we are and support Israel, and so on, well you miss the point," he told the laughing audience at an event for his book, America: Our Next Chapter.
Hagel added that the U.S. "shouldn't even be thinking about the options of bombing Iran," even in the event of a nuclear attack on Israel, and suggested Israel would be the first to attack Iran with a nuclear weapon.
Hagel told the Senate on Jan. 31 that he could not provide records or video for more than four of the "hundreds" of speeches he had given over the previous five years because they had not been transcribed or recorded:
We have given the committee every copy of every speech that I have that's out there, every video that I have that's out there. On paid speeches, most every one of those paid speeches--in the contract it says that they are private and not videotaped. That wasn't my decision. That was the contract of the group I spoke to. I believe every paid speech I gave I didn't have a prepared text. I gave it extemporaneously, which is something I've been doing for long before I left the Senate.

I wonder whether Hagel like Brennan is a Moslem convert?
My bet is Hagel will drop out for “family” reasons.
“I wonder whether Hagel like Brennan is a Moslem convert?”
I don’t know about that, but they are both Anti-semites, that’s for certain!
Breitbart does it the right way: Attack, attack, attack.
Not wondering, whining, musing, hoping. ATTACK.
Hagel was appointed because he hates Israel. Just like his future boss.
UpChuck Hagel, hater of all things Jewish and Israeli, is tanned, rested and ready and a LOT more likely to drain Demonrat votes as Mr. Third Party (the new Stormfront candidate).
For extra thrills for folks like you, Hagel has now "evolved" into a certifiable peace creep just like his role model paleoPaulie and also has ceased being a Catholic upon his second marriage. Our RC gain can be yours too!
If you guys work hard at it, Hagel is probably trainable on "constitutional" excuse making to preserve abortion on demand, enact pervert "marriage" and legalize all things hallucinogenic. Maybe you guys can hold your 2016 convention at Woodstock which probably has at least one motel big enough to have six bedrooms and a 10' X 15' convention hall.
Blackelk, you really need to up your insult rhetoric you’re sounding positively out of date or maybe just out of mind. I’d think a long term, big time Progressive Republican booster such as you would have sent a few shekels to Hagel. OTOH, I’d bet you’re a closet Hagel kind of guy.
Does anyone not see the irony in the recent nominations of four questionable white guys!!!!
John Kerry - the medal moron!
John Brennan - brain dead!
Mr. Lew - loose with the truth!
Chuck Hagel - out to lunch!
I see a pattern here!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t know about that, but they are both Anti-semites, that’s for certain!
You're right on that - both antisemites... What's Obama thinking? Are dems on the ME take?
I wonder whether Hagel like Brennan is a Moslem convert?
Me to, he sure sound like a nazi, and they fit well in with the muslim extremists, anybody ever vetted this guy and his familys bacground?
I recall reading somewhere that Brennan had converted to Islam during his attendance at American Univ. in Cairo Egypt. This would have been before his getting into government I believe when Reagan was POTUSA. Do you have more specifics? I don’t like or trust the man as to the good for the USA. He probably fits right in with Obama’s intentions and Muslim intentions for the USA.
Thanks Nachum.
The left couldn’t hope for a “better” SOS. How wonderful that this nutjob was/is a Republican. In nominating him Obama has avoided the harsher fallout that would have occurred if he had nominated a democrat of the same ilk.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
