By AWR Hawkins:
As I wrote in an earlier post, former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) has a long history of opposing Israel at every turn in the road. But if that weren't bad enough, his past also demonstrates a soft spot for Iran -- which ought to be problematic for someone aspiring to the position of Secretary of Defense.

While a Senator, Hagel had a habit of standing with Iran, even when that meant standing against his own party or even Democrat colleagues.

Moreover, the bank for which Hagel is a member of the advisory board is currently under investigation for bending the rules to get around the U.S. embargo to do business with Iran.

Is this really what we want in a Sec. of Defense? Someone who steps in and guarantees that the progress Iran made toward a nuclear weapon during Obama's first term will only continue in Obama's second?

Could it possibly get any worse?

I knew from experience that if Hagel is being nominated that he must be serious trouble. Thanks for posting this article, hopefully more and more will come out. However I expect that the august Senate will confirm him by a very large majority; maybe as large as their confirmation of the crypto Communist that holds this position at the present.
