Fairly unusual article, it provides data to allow you to draw your own conclusion.

My recollection of Hagel is that he was an angst-filled, sort of anti-american, conflicted over the vietnam war and his service there.
President Zero is putting together quite a team, hey?

All indications here are that Chuck likes the burka. He looks like Morsi, grizzled and gruff. Being Obama´s pick also confirms that he would be the worst choice for the country. Defense or Dhimmitude department? Muslims are coming out of fhe closet.

Hagel would fit perfectly with Kerry and Obama. They are all terribly unfunny jokes.

NY Times explains why Obama wants Hagel - "Mr. Hagel voted for the resolution that authorized Mr. Bush to take military action in Iraq, but he soured on the war. In a Senate hearing in 2007, he denounced Mr. Bush’s plan to send more troops to Baghdad as “the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam.’´ He also co-sponsored a resolution with two Democratic senators, Carl Levin of Michigan and Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, that declared the increase to be not in the national interest"

Hagel can be Flip with Kerry as Flop to prove that two wrongs rarely get it right.

Hagel will gut DoD while Kerry guts our alliances.

I´m looking for a return of Van Jones, either on the Supreme Court or Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

Sure, put in Hagel.

Brings the military coup much closer.

Well, more than half the voters in this country knew full well what kind of a President they reelected! We should no be all surprised when he installs like-minded, anti-American MarxistCommunists in these critical positions. I fear this country is going to reap the whirlwind over this foolish election!

A wise dictator neglects the enthusiastic good will of the military at his own considerable peril.

I´d rather it not come to that.

- - correction- -

OK...I´d rather it had not come to this.

Just found this at Breitbart´s site:

"Hagel sits on the board of a bank that is under investigation for allegedly violating United States sanctions on Iran."

..Germany´s Deutsche Bank, is being investigated for alleged violations "of a trade embargo on Iran´s oil and energy sector."

Government by traitors. It´s anybody´s guess whether the existing pirate ship that is the obama administration will sink before the country falls apart.

Hagel is quite the favorite of CAIR.

Guess we will have to allow more young men to die in a "sons of Hagar" war or go into depression for our Republic to wake up. If we do not come back to our beginnings we will be toast on the pages of history. Sorry to be so pessimistic but there are not enough conservative Senators to vote against these two traitors! II Chronicles 7:14

Does this mean that there is some truth to the tin foil hat rumors that Obama and his handlers hanker for WWIII? Makes me shudder.

Hanoi Jane should be the next Goofball to get a high position in our "Goobermint".

I think Hagel was always a fake republican in order to get elected in his state. His true colors came out when he attacked Bush.Both these clowns are anti-war which the left has to love.

In addition to all Hagel´s other accomplishments and attributes, he is dumb as a stump.

Chuck Hagel is a RINO who would attempt to give President Obama the political cover that he needs to transform the military into a very limited fighting force in the future.

Hagel has been lobbying for a job with the Obama Administration since that crew was created.

Recently when liberal Democrat Bob Kerrey, a New York city resident for more then the last decade went back to Nebraska, at the behest of Harry Reid, in an attempt to win and save an open US Senate seat for the liberal Democrats, Hagel made a number of television commercials claiming to be a lifelong Republican who was endorsing Kerrey over the Republican candidate Deb Fischer.

The people of Nebraska realized that if Kerrey were elected, that he would immediately return to live in New York city, essentially giving the State of New York three liberal Democrat Senators, with Nebraska, for all intents and purposes, being left with only one US Senate seat.

Kerrey lost the election by over 15 points to Fischer who has always lived in Nebraska. Apparently Kerrey has already returned to New York city.

Panetta newtered the CIA. Barry moved him to DoD and he started that newtering.

Hangel will complete it.
