Chuck Hagel: Unworthy of Confirmation

I wish Chuck Hagel would seek the Chinese defense job. We'd be better off.

Hagel: Israel An Apartheid State​

February 20, 2013
By Matthew Vadum

President Obama’s would-be defense secretary claimed in a speech that Israel is a treaty-breaking rogue nation that is in the process of becoming an apartheid state.

The comments from top Pentagon nominee Chuck Hagel came two years ago during a question and answer session following a speech the former U.S. senator made at Rutgers School of Law. With his suspicious ties to theocratic Iran, Hagel is part of President Obama’s Islamist-appeasement dream team, alongside CIA director nominee John Brennan, and John Kerry, the pathologically anti-American Secretary of State.

...

Unfortunately, Republicans already appear to be losing their will to fight, and seem ready to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Even though some Democratic senators, citing Hagel’s abysmal confirmation hearing testimony in which he appeared confused, even ignorant of current U.S. policy, have asked Obama to withdraw the nomination, Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Graham reportedly now favor allowing Hagel to have an up-or-down vote in the Senate.

But McCain and Graham could still change their minds.

Chuck Hagel, Friend of Hamas? How the Right-Wing Press Got It Way Wrong

It began with a casual, half-in-jest email, the kind that reporters send to sources thousands of times a day on Capitol Hill when they want a little more clarity in answer to a question.

It ended with a cringe-worthy moment of embarrassment for the feedback loop of the Republican Party and the right-wing press that emboldens them.


Two weeks ago, two dozen Republicans in the Senate sent a public letter to Secretary of Defense nominee Chuck Hagel, demanding he disclose what, if any, foreign entities had paid him for any work he had done since leaving the Senate. The letter came as rumors were flying around Washington that Hagel had been paid speaking fees by some foreign entities, particularly ones antagonistic towards American interests—and even that Hagel had appeared before some of these groups.

And so it was with shock the next day that he saw a headline on the right-wing website Breitbart.com: an article asserting that Hagel had received funding from a group called “Friends of Hamas.”

Why is the GOP continuously proving their complete and utter stupidity?

Dan Friedman of the New York Daily News wrote a piece today suggesting that he was the inadvertent source of Breitbart News’ story on “Friends of Hamas” in early February. There’s only one problem. That’s false, and Friedman knew it was false when he printed the story. Welcome to the Obama media, where protecting Chuck Hagel and attacking any media who question Hagel is par for the course.

Hagel didn't say Israel is an apartheid state, he said its on its way to apartheid. There's a slight difference in that statement and of course your Rightwing sources fabricate yet another thing. No wonder you guys have no clue about reality. I could care less what he says about Israel. It's what he says about America that matters.

Documents: Hagel staffers met with ‘front group’ for Iranian regime

Documents obtained by The Daily Caller show that staffers for then-Sen. Chuck Hagel met repeatedly with a controversial pro-Iran lobby group, and some met with the organization’s president.

Hagel is President Barack Obama’s choice to be the next secretary of defense. Arizona Sen. John McCain and other Republicans have conceded that a vote — and likely confirmation — will take place during the week of Feb. 25.


Iranian state-run media have referred to the National Iranian-American Council (NIAC) since at least 2006 as “Iran’s lobby” in the U.S.

It portrays itself in the media as an independent group of Iranian expatriates. But Sam Nunberg, director of the Legal Project at the Middle East Forum project, describes the NIAC as an Iranian “front group.”

And documents released during the discovery phase of a defamation lawsuit NIAC filed against Seid Hassan Daioleslam, editor of the Iranian American Forum and one of the regime’s most public critics, include correspondence with Mohammed Javad Zaif, then Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations.

Nunberg’s organization is helping to represent Daioleslam.

The civil discovery documents also include a letter written by NIAC legislative assistant Babak Talebi describing Sen. Hagel as “generally on our side” regarding issues concerning the Islamic Republic

Hagel SHOULD be confirmed. He will do to the defense department what Hillary started doing (and Kerry will finish) to the state department. obama had a plan, have a stupid republican shill end our defenses, then blame republicans for the end of our defenses! He can't lose.

This is an interesting thread.

One wonders how many of those opposing Hagel have the personal integrity to admit whether or not they supported Junebug's moron at defense - Rumsfeld, in 2004 by voting for that ratty little scumbag fake cowboy from tejas. If the next bum to ask you for a dime on the street was appointed to Defense they couldn't damage the United States more than Bush League hacks did.

Now consider that Hagel is some triple-digit-number magnitude above Rumsfeld's analytic skill and personal integrity levels, and that he isn't a eunuch water carrier like Gates and Panetta have been all their lives.

Then consider that the United States of America has had enough filthy god damned war mongering remf chicken hawks driving policy pour le nonce and there is your answer.

Hagel is the next Secretary of Defense.

And frankly it's about time that asshole in the white house appointed a real world based decent human being to an important government office.

.. That’s got to be the funniest post I've seen in quite some time...Like or dislike Rumsfeld he has ten times the intellect of that idiot Hagel…. Who may actually be in the early stages of dementia.

Hagel, a salt of the earth infantryman, appears to have enough sense to see Israel for the dangerously resentful bastard child of European anti-Semitism it is, while Rumsfeld the genius fighter pilot wasn't smart enough to understand Hussein kept Iran in check.

Get back to me when you figure it out why Rumsfeld helped that filthy draft dodging little fake cowboy from Tejas, Connecticut and his thief, Profiteer Cheney, fake evidence to fool halfwit America into supporting invading Iraq - a nation that did a lot more good for America under Hussein than it has done since those stupid fucks led the US to commit war crimes.

Here is something for all the fake-liberals and fake-conservatives passing for sentient humanity to think about: If Obama left the defense cabinet position unfilled it would do less damage to the United States than the rest of the secys defense since 2000.

What do you think about the Mexicans flying their flag over an American flag here in the USA.

U.S. flag flying upside down and below Mexican flag-Truth!

Vet cuts down Mexican flag flying above U.S. banner

Do they get a progressive/liberal pass...

Chuck Hagel: Unworthy of Confirmation


February 1, 2013
By Joseph Klein



Chuck Hagel’s battle to become the next Secretary of Defense, succeeding Leon Panetta, took center stage on Thursday at his Senate confirmation hearing.

[lost of idiotic nutball horseshit skipped to cut to the chase]

HAGEL NEW CABINET MEMBER
58 rock solid American votes for decorated veteran Hagel, to 40 filthy god damned chickenhawk scum and war hero Col Windsock McCain voting against.

Obama's best high ranking selection to date. No one else close.

Four nutballs briefly act with integrity... Richard Shelby of Alabama, Mike Johanns of Nebraska, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thad Cochran of Mississippi ALL voted for Hagel.

 

[Katzndogz]

Now matter how you may love or even admire Hagel, he has no alternative but to fail. He had a very poor performance in the hearings because he got befuddled which is his normal state. He is not respected. He will be ineffective. He will, along with Kerry advertise profound weakness. Muslims will smell that blood in the water and act accordingly.

Hagel isn't in office to succeed anyway. He is there to fail so obama could say republicans can't be trusted. Obama is campaigning for his legacy. His legacy as he sees it will be the man that obliterates the republicans and puts the nation firmly under one party rule. To do that Hagel must fail and he will.
