If it were not for the fact that it would only be a two year appointment, I would have given the nod to Liebs for Sec Def (Well I would have kept Rummy (anyone know who’s call it was to play police and not soldiers?)).

Way to go, Joe. JL really understands the nature of the Middle East mentality. Just like Libya, these people are tough minded negotiators and have no respect for appeasement policies. If you allow them, they’ll step all over you and give you a thrashing. Hagel; fowgetaboutit!
Jimmy Carter was the poster boy for playing limp-wristed appeaser with the Iran-o-nuts back in his administration. Jimmy and his empty threats that never came through. Those Iranians laughed at Jimmy and a limp, do nothing, impotent USA. No wonder the Islam-o-nuts today were happy to see the Dems take the elections. They know now they can slap the US around cause Congress will just hide in the boys room in a stall and soil their pants.

The nutroots are the best thing that happened to J. Lieberman.

He looks/acts/talks liberated. He did that before but the (I) now gives him carte blanche. He now can be unemcumbered from both parties. Nice! We need more!

The Democrats’ talk about withdrawl suits their political agenda to pave their way into the White House in 2008. [/stating the obvious]

“There’s too much talk about the inability to succeed in Iraq, and too little talk about the consequences of failure, which I believe would be disasterous for us. — Senator Joe

…you go, Joe.

There’s somebody who’s actually looking at the problem….

…anyone who doesn’t the threat of Islam — not “militant” Islam, but demographically out-of-control, orthodox Islam — doesn’t know the *FIRST* thing about Islam.

“…they can’t do without security, and they can’t achieve security if we begin to withdraw….”

…hit it outta the park, Joe. Outta the park.

Yes, Hegel is naive, and Joe Biden is monumentally, amazingly, stupendously stupid.

And transparently dishonest. Doens’t anyone remember when he took Neil Kinnock’s ( British Labour Party leader at the time ) speech about events of his youth and plagiarized it, almost word-for-word? And got caught, but showed no shame? The media gave him a pass, of course, but he took another man’s PERSONAL recollections of his boyhood and stole them. How can anyone do sh*t like that and have the chutzpah to show his sallow face in public? I can understand Delaware voters seeking Pork, but Biden as anything more than a run-of-the-mill dishonest hack? As a foreign policy expert?

…almost as bad as Hastings on the House Intell Committee

Ole Joe Lieberman may be the only liberal that “gets it” with regards to the threat Islam is to our nation. I’m still proud of him coming back fighting after the DEMS tried to run him out of the party. He looks mighty good with Independant under his name and he makes much more sense than Hagel on these issues.

Hagel is an idiot. I don’t care who he flew for, he’s stupid. Get back on the American team, Chuck. Quit playing for jihadis.

The world is upside down indeed. Here on this panel we have the repub, my party, sounding like an absolute idiot. I’ve known for awhile that Hagel is a cup and saucer short of a full place setting but this takes the cake. How does he think Islamic govts. come to power? Through chaos, through the lack of a strong central govt. Afghanistan anyone? The Taliban took control after the vacuum created after a decade of Soviet control. Lebanon? Syria, even today, has used this as a military base to strike Israel. Hagel, please shut up. The newly independent Leibs is dead on accurate. Biden, the plagarist, is right. What the hell is going on here? Is there any wonder the GOP lost? Hey Chuckie, remember Libya? Fear works………

Who here is the Republican here?…

After watching the video I have to agree with Allahpundit, Lieberman looks good with the word “Independent” under his name. …

I think it’s correct that Iran was not all that happy with an extremist Sunni group, the Taliban, next door to them. Thus, they didn’t have much problems with the US taking them out, although they probably didn’t like the idea of the US next door, either.

Yet Hagel tries to apply that nexus of US and Iranian goals to Iraq – where it doesn’t work. Iran and the US do not have the same goal in Iraq, a fact that seems to escape Hagel. Iran wants another client-state like they are gunning for in Lebanon with Hezbollah. Just change it to Iraq and al-Sadr and the Madhi militia, it’s the same strategy.

Liberman sounds like a real man since he won the election. Can anybody prove Hagel theory of Iran’s help in Afganistan? It sounds supicious to me.

Look on the bright side – if we restart the Cold War with Russia, maybe they’ll keep AllofMp3 open out of spite.

Can Hagel really be as naive as he sounds talking about Iran’s motives in helping us out in Afghanistan?

In a word, yes.

BTW, whatever happened to Ned Lament?
