I predict that Hagel will do to DoD what Obama has already done to NASA.

In Dutch, 'hagel' means 'frozen rain' or 'shot' (as from a shotgun).

So I guess our relation with Israel is cooling off or is shot.

Rub our noses in it you Muslim POS.

Thnks Republicans who voted for this.
I expected no better when you put Kerry in as Secretary of State.

If Obama told you to vote for Schiller the Killer for Surgeon General you would have done it.

Sorry, I just read that only 4 Republicans voted for Hagel.
I assumed more did, when I posted # 9

Of course Bama calls that bi-partisan.

What a clown.
