Actually, the RWNJs want another CHICKENHAWK like the PNAC NEOCONS -- all BIG MOUTH republicans without any service to see that WAR is really hell.
Chuck Hagel has more grit and common sense than all those rabid NEOCONS!
Hagel nomination: Israelis ask 'what's the big deal?'
While American pro-Israel groups sound the alarm on President Obama's choice of Chuck Hagel for secretary of defense, Israel itself seems much less concerned.
"It's none of our business, it's America's prerogative," said Naftali Bennett of the right-wing HaBayit HaYehudi (The Jewish Home) party, whose popularity has surged in recent weeks. "Israel and America's bond goes way beyond certain relationships between individuals."
This is more about worrying American pro-Israel groups like the PNAC NEOCONS, since this is not worrying Israel in the least, as their leaders have said.
Also, if Hagel can get us out of Afghanistan earlier than expected, just like the majority of Americans prefer, then he's the best pick we can have!
JERUSALEM -- The response to former Sen. Chuck Hagel's Secretary of Defense nomination was remarkably subdued here in Israel on Monday, a sign that Israeli politicians are far less worried about President Barack Obama's Pentagon pick than their U.S. counterparts.
SLOW-NEWS: " J'accuse !! " -- I recall that you don't speak French, so do a little research into the meaning of that. By the way, the actual reference is to the cultural event, not merely the literal translation.
By the way, for someone who accuses others (too quickly and sometime falsely, I might add) of ad hominem accusations, your keyboard runnith to speak ill of other individuals posting here. Do reread your comments below here with a bit of objective honesty in your evaluation.
And by the way, you seem to still be unwilling to engage in the most gentlemanly of classic debate on the merits as well as in form. As such, why not drop the pretentiousness and attempts at converting sophomoric chip shots into something intellectually redeeming?
Here is just more evidence that Chuck Hagel is the right man for the job. Unfortunately, the right-wing thugs in Congress are going to do their best to keep him from becoming Sec. of Defense since they want a Yes Man there!
What a total load of KRAP! This is all RWNJ political rhetoric!

Israel has nothing to worry about with the Hagel appointment. Everyone is so afraid of AIPAC that the religious fanatics which currently run Israel will continue to have their way with all the money and deadly attack weapons the US supplies.

Don't swallow everything you read is the first rule towards this nomination process. Include my response if you will.
First off, there is the Pollard case and the USS Liberty business regarding Israel. Do not forget. Read and understand about those two.
Second, there is the Hostage Crisis with Iran that has never been addressed. Do not forget. Read and understand the US role in Iran before the current government and the consequences of CIA operations there.
Third, there is the nuclear question regarding Iran, but blind to the nuclear weapons and infrastructure in Israel. Do not forget. Read about Israel and its nuclear scientists disclosures of over 600 nuclear devices
and understand the politics of threatened armageddon on both sides.
Hagel will not determine what is best for Israel or Iran...as Secretary of State anymore than Hillary Clinton did. This job is for US. Thank you.
Yes, do remember that: 1a - Jonathan Pollard was an American, when he violated the law, was found guilty and sentenced to Federal prison, before changing his citizenship to the State of Israel. He remains in prison. 1b - US military, intelligence and government inquiries found Israel was responsible, however erroneously it may have been, for the death of 34 service personnel on the USS Liberty more than 40 years ago. In addition to apologies, Israel paid monetary compensation to the United States and families of those killed and injured.
2a - Iran has been found liable for the deaths of 241 service personnel in the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut. The Federal judge awarded over $2Billion in damages to the surviving families. Most recently, Iran was ordered to pay $841 Million of their obligation. Iran has made no payment or apologies for killing Americans.
3a - Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and so is bound by its provisions, which include assertive obligations of disclosure and inspection-at-will. Iran has been found to be out of compliance with its treaty obligations, making it the subject of the rest of the world's scrutiny.
3b - Israel, like India, never signed the NPT and has never had similar obligations of disclosure. There is no accurate or authoritative set of facts about Israel and whether it possesses nuclear weapons or weapon capability. The governments of Israel have deliberately pursued a policy of nuclear weapon ambiguity, under which they neither confirm nor deny any speculation of their capabilities, nor disclose any information about same. Whatever assertions purport to be known facts are nothing more or less than people's speculation.
