Chuck Hagel proves Obama is a brainless idiot or just a hack

You can say joo-hater if it makes you feel better.
 
Obama proving he's a political hack.. by nominating.. a Republican.. Senator... Also what comments of Hagel's could be classified as anti semitic?
 
Anyone want to prove to me how a jew-hater will get through the US Senate?

I've never seen anything like this. It leaves no doubt that Obama is a arrogant political hack.

This is simply a show of force by Obama, since the Senate is in the bag with a demorat majority. The only chance the republicants have is to make a big enough stink to scare some red state demorats out of confirming him, but that is unlikely. Obama has been systematically reshaping top military folks to pave the way for more women in "combat" positions just in time to wind down Afghanistan and down size the whole DOD.

Wow, imagine how sucky Mccain and Romney were to get their asses handed to them by such a person. it almost seems like if the reps had run someone even slightly adequate they would have won. Perhaps your problem is not with Obama, but rather with the piss poor candidates the reps are running against him? Or maybe obama is not as bad as all of that and you just don't like him and will complain about anything he does? really, are we supposed to believe one of the most biased and wrongly informed people on this board has made a well formed judgment on obama's performance? If some political blog came out and said obama was a retarded bigfoot you would be here telling us all about how horrible things are that we would elect a retarded bigfoot as president.

just look at it in a good way, you only have 4 more years until hillary is president.

Somehow, I have a feeling that if Romney won the election and nominated Hagel, which is not unlikely as he's exceptionally qualified, that you wouldn't be bothered by this.

If fact, the conservative media narrative would be all about what RINO McCain is, and how McCain crashed 3 planes, blah, blah, blah...
 
All of the neocon's on this website that are inevitably going to go against this guy can shut their trap until they've fought in a useless war or two. John McCain is one of the biggest sell outs to the American serviceman in a long time. Why? Because the guy fought in a useless war himself, was tortured during it, and still advocates to send guys like me to more useless wars for political capital. He needs to learn the lesson Chuck Hagel did when he was wounded 2 times in the same war. That lesson being that you do not use servicemembers as a pawn in your political games. I'm all over fighting the enemy as my avatar shows. And I am good at it as my record shows. But I'm tired of being sent to fight people that haven't done anything to us. You want to go in Afghanistan and find OBL? Fine. Let's find him and come home. What we don't need to do is go swooping into these third world countries that are still using 1970's era tanks and AK-47's with duct tape holding them together and try to "nation build". I'm tired of the war mongering, the overspending on crap we don't need, the military industrial complex that dictates the votes of these politicians (Dem and GOP), and I'm especially tired of being used as a humanitarian. That's not my job. My job is to kill the enemy. Send me to do that.
 
John McCain is obsessed with proving to everyone that he was right about Iraq. The hearing should have devoted more time to the biggest problem in our military. Hint: it was the topic of the documentary the invisible war
 
Hagel rightly deserves criticism over saying "Jewish Lobby" rather than "Israeli Lobby", as that kind of statement can carry serious political consequences. While in a perfect world that might disqualify him, the current crop of idiots regarding our foreign policy are far worse. He is one of the few people who actually discusses war beyond the juvenile concepts of "winning" or "how does it make the current administration look politically"
 
The weird thing is that Hagel was good friends with these Republicans...and now they hate his guts.

Do you have some actual proof that someone is a Jew-hater or are you just running your mouth?

That is the crux of the complaints it seems. McCain likes everythng about the Iraq war except that its over and we left. He wanted the war to last 100 years.

You know, I really didnt have a position on Hagel other than a president sets the policy anyway and should get to pick who serves in his cabinet, but after watching bits of Hagels testimony, you really have to wonder why Obama nominated him. I dont know how anyone could argue that there arent better people for the job out there. The guy seemed lost.

If President Obama made it rain cookies, some people would complain about a milk shortage.

Are there better people out there?
Of course, but Obama picked the guy he feels comfortable with.
As someone else said, if Romney had won and picked Hagel the GOPers, including most of the Neo-cons, would be fighting to be first in line to vote for Hagel.
It's all about trying to make Obama look bad (As always.) and trying to punish Hagel for not being a GOP True Believer.
I believe that Hagel will be confirmed. We'll see.

I have this problem with all the complaints lackwit McCain keeps making about everyone Obama has chosen. When it came to a point wherwe McCain had to make the most important choice of his presidential run he chose Sarah palin. I could not see a worse or more dumbass choice ever being made. He had to actually go up to alaska to find the worst possible choice ever. Now we are supposed to trust his judgement? This guy thought it would be a great idea if he listened to the batcrap insane church who recommended her and wanted to put her one heartbeat away from being president? Not to mention the months of whining over the secretary of state choice because of 4 deaths. How many deaths did we get from the invasion of Iraq and his imaginary WMDs? Yes, i know benghazi was tragic and 4 people died due to a multitude of bad ideas and poor support that put them in the middle of a violent area with american hating factions in a friggen shack, but it would take a thousand benghazi's to reach the death toll of his iraq mistakes.

Really McCain should not be the one objecting to choices at this point. There are better republican senators and representatives who have not made huige errors in judgement regarding people and actions over the past 5 years who they could chose. If you want to keep mccain in there put him in the back corner where he belongs and tell him to STFU and enjoy his salary until what is left of his brain completely rots out of his skull. Find someone without the huge lists of screw ups to make these challenges. oh, and he needs to get his nurse to change that diaper because it is full of crap. At least i hope the man is wearing a diaper, because i can smell the load from here.
 
Since when is opposing unconditional backing of an aggressive Israeli state "anti-semitism?" You can oppose Israeli aggression without hating Jews. The fact that he receives such flak for calling attention to the power of the pro-Israel lobby merely proves his own point; American politicians are terrified of being seen as unfaithful allies to Israel. I think the term "Jewish lobby" is a bit distasteful, but I agree with the sentiment. Worst case scenario, Defense Secretary Hagel would urge caution in supporting any offensive actions by Israel, but would defer to the judgment of Congress and the President; if another nation launched an attack against Israel, I doubt Hagel would be against our assisting them. The man is a subordinate of the President; he won't be making any military decisions independent of Obama, who, like every president before him, will stand beside Israel.

Now, if appointing Hagel makes Obama a brainless moron, what does that make McCain for suggesting him as his choice for Secretary of Defense in 2008? Oh, yes, I forgot. With our two-party system, let the other side be damned, because obviously they hate America.
 
I just took a look at Intrade.com. Hagel is favored to be confirmed by 95 percent. That doesn't surprise me.
Anyone who can't deal with Hagel in the Pentagon might want to think of moving to Israel. The entrance to the exit is always wide open.
