#1 Hagel was not appointed to 'Preserve, Protect and Defend' the United States. He was appointed to dismantle the Armed Forces so the Defense Budget can be used for Obamacare and other highly successful social programs.

#2 Not exactly. Panetta could have done that.
Hagel was nominated so that he could do all that and, when people complained, Champ could point out that it was all 'bipartisan' since Hagel is supposedly a Republican.

#3 ...well, the breed known as a Beltway Republican, and while that has the highest endorsement of the RNC, it's just considered a social club of the DNC.

#4 Hagel has been an outspoken critic of many of the signature Republican foreign policy positions of recent years...
I'm opposed to Hagel's confirmation because he seems like a dimwit.

A charitable assessment I'd say. Quite charitable.

#6 he was an awful appointee. His confirmation hearing was the most uninformed, ignorant, incompetent and embarrassing I've ever seen. He was appointed to be the "Republican that cut Defense" shield for Zero, and that's failed. He's shown that he has little if any Repub support, and anything he does will reflect back on Zero, not the GOP

There is historical precedent though: didn't the Emperor Caligula appoint a horse to the Senate? OK, a horse and an ass are different, but let's not be pedantic.

#8 How about compromise? A "Horse's Ass".

#9 Last I checked Horses will carry a Jewish man to safety, so not exactly a fair comparison.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
