		<description><![CDATA[Putting Hagel forth for consideration is pre-meditated act of mis-direction by the Hussein Regime.  They obviously knew he would be a train wreck.  Now all the Dems and Repubs can come together to throw him off the stage.  This little scripted scenario by the WH would leave some to believe that Dems are rational.  We all know better. The really interesting act in this play will be to see who Hussein surfaces as the replacement for Hagel.  Whomever that person is, is the one who we should be most concerned about because that individual is the one that Hussein has most likely charged with the mission to undermine the mission of the Defense Department.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;How do you know a nominee is in trouble?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Hagel did what was probably the worst confirmation testimony in recent history if not ever. Yet, there is no evidence his nomination is in trouble.  The Dems will vote for him lockstep.

Which leads me to the GOP.  If ever there were a time for filibuster, this is the nomination to do it on.  Face it, when the chairman of the committee has to send you a note explaining that the administration&#039;s position in Iran is not one of containment then you are utterly unfit for the job.  It would be nice to see the GOP show some spine and say so but I suspect they will cave.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Mr. Hagel had come by this wisdom, we were informed, because he had been at the front, seen men die, and knew, as we were frequently reminded, what the ordinary soldier thought and felt. All of this, the argument ran, gave him a unique capacity to head the Defense Department.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So why didn&#039;t the POTUS have to serve &quot;at the front&quot; so to speak before becoming the world&#039;s most powerful executive?  We were told Bark&#039;s inexperience was a good thing because he was untainted by D.C.
