[Peace-discuss] Hagel finnagle

[David Green]

The latest Obama-scam regards the potential nomination of Chuck Hagel for SoD.

Mondoweiss is all a-twitter about the Lobby's reaction.
 
Hagel is, by and large, a thoroughly establishment figure, with a few off-the-reservation views about Iran and Israel that can be easily finessed.
 
But Obama-believers are always looking for a White Knight. And Obama is always willing to encourage their fantasies about him. They think that one person can make a difference. In a way, yes; but USFP is not about one person.
 
I don't think Hagel is much more bright than Panetta. And that's a pretty low bar.
