I do...I'm guessing that Jay is probably right.<br /><br />I do not think, ultimately, that Obama will even put forth Hagel's name as his nominee for Secretary of Defense.<br /><br /><b><i>I suppose the threat here is, when someone else eventually gets the nod, something along the lines of "see what we could have done? now thank us and shut the fuck up."</i></b><br /><br />Indeed.<br /><br />Mike L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06450806807610560873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-15015383515218636602012-12-31T05:24:06.684-08:002012-12-31T05:24:06.684-08:00Remember, folks...it's not antisemitism, it...Remember, folks...it's not antisemitism, it's "realism."<br />Randall Kohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06262147784760614189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-26718400927645850582012-12-31T02:20:47.834-08:002012-12-31T02:20:47.834-08:00Not quite sure how I missed this a few weeks ago, ...Not quite sure how I missed <a href="http://www.salon.com/2012/12/06/when_jews_ruled_basketball/" rel="nofollow">this</a> a few weeks ago, btw, but I'm on it now... ;)JayinPhiladelphiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556212008313470286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-940862456540306972012-12-30T23:11:52.529-08:002012-12-30T23:11:52.529-08:00I suppose that's the point.

Like, there has to be ONE wouldn't ya think? But hey, maybe not. Maybe part of the qualifications is a hatred of Israel or even just a solid dislike.

Hagel is chair of the Atlantic Council and they published an article dealing with Israel Apartheid.

To show you what reasonable folks they are, after all.<br /><br />Someone's maybe using Hagel to make a similar kind of point, I guess.JayinPhiladelphiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556212008313470286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-60420220600843482072012-12-30T13:44:14.180-08:002012-12-30T13:44:14.180-08:00Mike, it's clear that you and I are simply not...Mike, it's clear that you and I are simply not intelligent enough to figure out the advanced progressive reasoning behind the president's deep, hardcore 19th-dimensional chess move of talking up the appointment of a homophobic Hamas fan who speaks of "The Jewish Lobby" to become US Secretary of Defense.<br /><br />Checkmate, <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/336601/buchanan-backs-hagel-secretary-defense-eliana-johnson#" rel="nofollow">Pat Buchanan</a>!
