President Barack Obama said Tuesday that the nation will now have the defense secretary it needs.

"With the bipartisan confirmation of Chuck Hagel as our next Secretary of Defense, we will have the defense secretary our nation needs and the leader our troops deserve," he said in a statement. "From the moment he volunteered for military service in Vietnam, Chuck has devoted his life to keeping America secure and our armed forces strong. An American patriot who fought and bled for our country, he understands our sacred obligations to our service members, military families and veterans.

I predict that Hagel will do to DoD what Obama has already done to NASA.

In Dutch, 'hagel' means 'frozen rain' or 'shot' (as from a shotgun).

So I guess our relation with Israel is cooling off or is shot.

Rub our noses in it you Muslim POS.

Thnks Republicans who voted for this.
I expected no better when you put Kerry in as Secretary of State.

If Obama told you to vote for Schiller the Killer for Surgeon General you would have done it.

.....yeah, the right one who will kiss his a&& and take the blame for anything

[blaveda]

You nailed it ! After his inept vetting, it's patently obvious that he lacks the intellectual gravitas for the job; but maybe this what the one wants!

[dfwgator]

Now when the SHTF.......”Blame the Republican.”

[Sarah Barracuda]

Hagel’s perfect..already loved by both Farrakhan and Iran..but really..with those kind of endorsements what can go wrong/sarc

[fivecatsandadog]

FUBO. Americans’ll be paying for your policies in blood & treasure for years to come.

Wow! He sure dissed Panetta.

[Venturer]

Sorry, I just read that only 4 Republicans voted for Hagel.
I assumed more did, when I posted # 9

Of course Bama calls that bi-partisan.

What a clown.

[sport]

Who were the Republican traitors that voted to confirm him?
