Dear lord we already have Hagel fatigue. We already had to pretend that the GOP suddenly cares about gay rights and therefore Hagel = root of all evil. We have to listen to John McCain concern troll the hell out of the nomination because he will never ever not be butthurt about losing to Bamz in 2008. We have RealDoll Ted Cruz (no, really. Go look at the fucking photo at the upcoming link. He is made of wax) declaring that Hagel is unacceptable because he won't
My brief and undistinguished service in the USAF was motivated by about equal parts of (1) not wanting to get my ass shot off and (2) realizing that the war was a really stupid idea.
Shit, in my ROTC classes (we had those) in 1967-9, they <i>instructed</i> us that a land war in Asia was a bad idea, and that keeping score by body count was contrary to US strategic thinking.
<i> if Republicans, after forcing Susan Rice to withdraw her name from consideration, swoon over Kerry and Hagel and vote to confirm them, it will only lead ordinary Americans to think that Republicans are an anti-woman, anti-black party which opposed a black woman only to vote for two stridently liberal white men.</i>

I believe he is actually a Bolshevik these days because he has dared to suppose we should not always go to war. Comment from <a href="http:\/\/www.theamericanconservative...\/larison\/the-petty-spiteful-critics-of-hagel\/" target="_blank">Larrison</a>:
...That the selection offends and annoys people whose foreign policy recommendations have been so disastrous for the country is an additional piece of confirmation that Hagel was the better choice. He was also reportedly the preferred choice all along, which suggests that there was something other than spite driving the selection. Hagel&rsquo;s supporters aren&rsquo;t making a trade-off. They aren&rsquo;t accepting the possibility of a &ldquo;lousy&rdquo; Secretary of Defense just to annoy Republican hawks. They are supporting someone who will probably be a competent Secretary of Defense, and in the process the hawks are helping to discredit themselves with their disgraceful smear campaign. ... P.S. There isn&rsquo;t any need to &ldquo;punish&rdquo; Republican hawks with individual Cabinet nominations. That&rsquo;s silly. Their party has lost the last three of four elections, which is why they aren&rsquo;t in a position to install one of their own at the Pentagon. Throwing a fit over Hagel&rsquo;s nomination is one of the most obvious cases of sour grapes in recent years.
Not so much that, but he really could stand to stop negotiating with himself. It sucks, but every single thing is gonna be a fucking battle royale.
Why? Just because they have done that for four years?
I like the cut of your gibberish.
I often like to relax with a bit of sudoku, so it might do them some good. Oh, <i>seppuku</i>? Well, that would do them a world of good.

&quot;... it will only lead ordinary Americans to think that Republicans are an anti-woman, anti-black party...&quot;
THAT SHIP HAS SAILED.
O-bama as Ala-bama? Puzzling evidence to be sure

There are, sadly, people who refuse to recognize the correct spelling of the Laugher Curve.
<i>&quot;Remember how we singlehandedly won World War One...&quot;</i>
Don&#039;t forget the Civil War. We won that one too! Doesn&#039;t anyone remember who lost?
