I fail to see how Chuck Hagel is any worse than Hillary Clinton or John Kerry, both of whom were confirmed without so much as a peep of protest.
Chuck Hagel obviously isn't anybody's ideal choice, but the bottom line is that nobody Obama selects for any cabinet post is going to be. So why is there so much opposition to Hagel when people who are worse than him on many issues breezed right through?
His opponents should be consistent. Either fight all of Obama's appointments tooth and nail, or, if you let somebody like Hillary through, call it a foregone conclusion and let them all through. Otherwise, it looks as though Hagel's GOP opponents are acting on a personal grudge instead of on principle.
What I remember is that Aburdene is a campaign contributor to Hagel through one of his PACs. But if you look further, you will see that Hagel has been part of a bunch of commissions to all parts of the world, and oddly enough the name Aburdene pops up among the other members of the commission. It is my guess that these are all members of the same family.

That old post reminded me of the Lebanese woman involved as the “socialite” character in the exposure of Gen. David Petreaus to draw heat off of the Benghazi abandonment scandal. She was from some notable big family in Lebanon. And she also had ties to Obama’s other new nominee for Sec of State John Kerry....
which brings to mind this administration’s habitual arms smuggling ...and this bit from Hagel’s past defending Iranian arms smuggling :
(ISRAEL CAPTURES THE IRANIAN VESSEL THE KARINNA A -— SEE HAGEL) There’s something very odd about Chuck Hagel. He’s been among a very small minority of Senators to vote against resolutions in support of Israel; and when the Israelis captured that Iranian vessel, the Karinna A., with arms destined for the Palestinians, he said immediately that we shouldn’t believe the Israelis, that they were just trying to stir things up against Iran.————72 posted on 01/11/2007 5:54:11 PM PST by BusterBear | To 6

“All Obama nominees are severely flawed. ESPECIALLY Hagel.”
owebama doesn’t want anyone in his cabinet who will outshine him. He is the most flawed pResident in history so he’s got to come up with losers like hagel, brennan, kerry, etc. who are worse than he is. He really has to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find them.
As did Soros....and started to build his multi-billion dollar “trust”.
Why is this man still alive?
Hagel = Bumbling Moron
Brennan = Stealth Moslem Brotherhood Activist
Kerry = Arrogant traitor & liar
All political pawns thoroughly compromised and totally unprincipled.
EX: Justice Roberts stated he adopted a pair of babys ten years ago from "Latin America" in his hearings. These Blond, blue-eyed babys have recently been reported as "IRISH born". Irish law allows for only Irish nationals to adopt Irish born children. If Roberts indeed engaged in human trafficking, Obama owns him too. Saul Alinsky Chicago politic 101.

Well since they're all a bunch of Horses A$$es, I think I'd have to agree and the proof is in that pudding!
