New footage of a speech by Chuck Hagel in 2008 has surfaced, in which the former Senator mocked the idea of continuing the U.S. policy of confronting Iran and supporting Israel. "When I hear the talk about--well you can’t talk with Iran, you can’t talk with Syria and we’re, we should stay where we are and support Israel, and so on, well you miss the point," he told the laughing audience at an event for his book, America: Our Next Chapter.
Hagel added that the U.S. "shouldn't even be thinking about the options of bombing Iran," even in the event of a nuclear attack on Israel, and suggested Israel would be the first to attack Iran with a nuclear weapon.
Hagel told the Senate on Jan. 31 that he could not provide records or video for more than four of the "hundreds" of speeches he had given over the previous five years because they had not been transcribed or recorded:
We have given the committee every copy of every speech that I have that's out there, every video that I have that's out there. On paid speeches, most every one of those paid speeches--in the contract it says that they are private and not videotaped. That wasn't my decision. That was the contract of the group I spoke to. I believe every paid speech I gave I didn't have a prepared text. I gave it extemporaneously, which is something I've been doing for long before I left the Senate.

“You’re right on that - both antisemites... What’s Obama thinking? Are dems on the ME take?”
Hagel personnifies the problem with the GOP. The Republicans have too many Hagels, and it causes us to loose elections. Everyone talks about how “brain dead” the RAT voters are. I submit that for guys like Hagel to be Republilcan office holders, there are a lot of “brain dead” Pubbies too!
“My theory is that the Chicago cabal that controls Obama extorts cash from foreign powers—among other entities—in exchange for favorable U.S. policy. One of their clients, Iran, has chosen Chuck Hagel as the next defense secretary.”
I see a variation on this theme. I see Obama and his regime being totally beholden and in the tank for Mid Eastern powers because they illegally contributed vast sums to Obama’s election campaign (primarily via the Internet) and Obama is an owned man. He must jump to their tune or they could rat him out at any moment as to how they financed his election. He was and is our Manchurian candidate. It was easy for him to acquiesce to their blackmail as he thinks just like them anyway and has a Muzzie mindset.
I agree. I’m horrified the guy’s a Republican...
