Hagel is that ignorant, eh? He isn’t moderate, in that case; he’s a flaming liberal. The only logical way to conduct diplomacy was described by Frederick the Great:

Diplomacy without force of arms is like music without instruments.

Never negotiate from a position of weakness, because it is not negotiation. It is Hagel who “doesn’t understand the world much”, and that failure to understand is a deadly failure.

I have a slight correction to make to the title:

Kerry, Hagel Have Track Record of Wanting to Engage With [Appease, Capitulate or Surrender to] America’s Adversaries

Corrected title is far more accurate.

Yes, Jon Effin Kerry has experience negotiating with the North Vietnamese in Paris, on his own, while still an active duty Navy officer. As a traitor to his country he will be the perfect fit for the 0bamugabe administration.

Engage? Is that what they are calling it these days? None dare call it treason.

[Andrei Bulba]

Why not just appoint Kucinich?

What Hagel does is give bipartisan cover to the evil 0 has in mind.

Kerry has a track record as a radical who threw away his medals and bad mouthed his fellow soldiers.
