"Political analysts in US believe that Hagel, learning lessons from Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq wars, and US strategic miscalculations in Central Asia and Africa, had come to believe that Washington is far from starting a new adventurist enterprise, with the result being no more than economic disaster and dwindled American hegemony in international scene, if US launches a war without the consent of international community. Accordingly, Hagel would keep US at bay from adventurism about Iran, and would try bringing US policies to convergence with its allies in line with Obama’s policies. This possibility has sparked the Zionist lobby (AIPAC) and its allied representatives in Congress, who believed that Obama, with Hagel on the Pentagon, would not pose the Iran strike as a serious option.
. . . .
US political circles had it that in meeting with Obama, Hagel has said that Benyamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister, do not appreciate US helps, and has become isolated as the result of political extremism."
Obama is placing pressure on Iran to curtail to its nuclear weapons development program? Yeah, right. The mullahs have received Obama's message loud and clear.
Obama and Ahmadinejad - together at last.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the emphasis on Hagel's war record,eventhough I have the highest regard for those who served.Bt their logic,every other RVN veteran is equally qualified for the position.When does veteran status wash away that person's prejudices or gift them the ability to interact on the global scale?

ReplyDeleteI responded to this nonsense last week. As I said, my mother was familiar with mud and dirt of war (the most horrible one), but I have no doubt that she wouldn't have been a good Secretary of Defense.
This was Obama's shtick "He knows the dirt and mud." Not enough, not enough. As always he counts on idiocy, and sadly, he usually calculates/manipulates correctly.
