Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb) on Security & the Next President

[MisterBoneman]

this guy is so current, even from two years past.

Amazing!

Great men sometimes aren't noted better until after a time, their words remain as relevant as this man's words do.

[monsterminds2]

I would luv to see Chuck Hagel in an Obama administration!

[mactos678]

Hagel and Ron paul would have not only won, but they would have made this country great again, the true republican way.

[maxime32]

???I like Ron Paul, but how in the hell would he have won? Don't you learn anything?

Only neocons and neoliberals can win because only they can raise the hundreds of millions of dollars funneled via powerful corporations to their campaigns? They would not have let Pat Buchanan or Jerry Brown or Jesse Jackson win either. Only controlled candidates CAN win. Dole and Kerry and McCain were rather boring and had little grassroots fundraising or support among activists, but that was who you got

[billionaireby16]

Well, he didn't choose Hagel, he choose Hagel's brother Joe Biden... Figuratively his brother... I don't even think he was vetted, but don't be surprised if Hagel becomes either Obama's Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense...

[bathalax]

hello everybody. i just want to ask any democrat here thinks if Obama chooses Hagel as his VP, will he be met with open arms by the Democratic party?

thanks.

[PARKEREAL]

with arms wide open from a cliff.lol no way he must pick a dem, man or hillary she is the only other minority that maybe could work, as a rule one minority at a time it must be a dem though

[Migsoon]

The next President is going to have to deal with Iran/ Israel which by then may have made moves that shut off oil exports, cut off all communication via satellite as both have systems that are more than adequate for this.

Our transportation down, no IPODS or cell phones, limited computer to military & watch our "modern" society come to an abrupt change. Not the "hope" kind that Obama speaks too. Just the real kind that USA has zero defense other than serious offense.

Is it worth it?

[Himechansexytightass]

...u don't bother to read, do you?

[eccentricXXX]

HAGEL FOR VICE PRESIDENT!!

[Superboy316KING]

OBAMA/HAGEL 2008

THAT WOULD BE SO GOOD

[Himechansexytightass]

You know, Hagel would had been a great rep. candidate. How the hell did they end up with McCain of all people?

[Superboy316KING]

I know, what it is with these people. I consider myself a republican but we keep nominating people like bush and mccain, it's an insult to me man.

BTW McCain could turn out to be a dumber president than Bush, i didn't think it was possible. He's too senile to be president. I support Obama in this election, I refuse to stand behind this senile idiot who doesn't even know the basic facts about the middle east.

[v19d]

One of my regrets is registering as a Democrat of Course I did it as a protest and so that some Million something Americans last time around switch to the Democrats believeing they would do a better job and even voting in the primary as a sign. I believe the recent Health Law in the USA will result in Democrats losing Congress in a landslide in 2010 even the Senate in 2010 then will lose more Senate Seats and more in Congress in 2012 even lose the White House possibly for the Next 40 years.

[v19d]

@v19d Well the Democrats lost the house. Lets see if I'm right in 2012

[sheldonoz]

The Obama Administration. The sound of that is great. I can't wait until next January when he is sworn in, and he can end our national nightmare of the last 8 years. President Obama. Get used to it. Our nation can then begin to redeem itself.

[Pocketass666]

hes gonna continue the nightmare with bigger goverment, more entitlements, less civil rights, pushing the war in Iran, have fun with that idiot as your president :D

[Himechansexytightass]

I admit he is liberal enough for the first two. However, the last two is completly baseless.

[billionaireby16]

Obama/Hagel 2008!!!

[ViperFilms]

"Wait until the war is won?" There will be NO WINNERS in this war. No matter what happens we all lose.

Its the fools thinking we will "win" at some point who are the most dangerous of them all.

[Charlie8417]

I killed a soldier? By not approving of this war I some how picked up a gun and killed one of our soldiers? Are you that naive?

You're the one who needs to wake up. I have the right to say whatever it is I want to say and that in no way kills or puts in danger any soldier. And since you seem to believe in this war, you probably, stupidly, think they're protecting my freedoms. The first right according to our constitution is to say whatever I want. You're obviously a moron.

[Charlie8417]

Oh but wait I thought Bush said the war was won back in 2003 on board the aircraft carrier? Wake up, son. The war is being fought in a manor to perpetuate war and never end. It's Vietnam for the 21st century. Its not liberation, its OCCUPATION. If you were to liberate a country you wouldn't be building 12 permanent military bases there and an embassy the size of the Vatican costing $1 billion.

[allahwasafag]

"building 12 permanent military bases"

- If you ever thought about working in contruction now you know where you can go.

[Charlie8417]

Is that your attempt at a pathetic joke?

[allahwasafag]

You sound like a kid who is trying to justify NOT serving in the military. Maybe a couple of years in the army would make you sound less like a fag and more like a man. Ever Heard of my country right or wrong or failure is not an option? Oh no you are way too smart for that. BTW it isn't an occupation jackass it is a liberation. Now it is your turn to give more aid and comfort to our enemy puss.

[Charlie8417]

And you sound like a 42 year old idiot in a trailer park in Alabama trying to justify a war that is based on lies and exploitation of the events on 9/11. Iraq had no WMD other than the ones WE GAVE HIM and no ties to Al Queda. Saddam HATED terrorists and had supreme rule over his lands through terror.

You sound like a fucking sheep. I bet you watch Fox News right? Only explanation. People who actually educate themselves on the war, and not watch Fox, know the war is BS and not a 'liberation'.

[Charlie8417]

Also in case you didn't know the US Military is 100% volunteer and less than 1% of the total population actually serve. I would love to join the military and was on my way to joining when this bogus war in Iraq happened. I'm not going to put my life on the line for war profiteering and securing oil in a country half way across the world. I respect military service men and women but they are not over there protecting my freedoms. They're protecting the special interest's pockets.

[sheldonoz]

You don't actually believe what you write do you? Even the president calls it an occupation. Occupying Iraq is aiding our enemy (Al Qaeda attacked us on 9/11, remember?) by providing them with propaganda & a training ground for terrorists. Iraq had a secular government before we installed a pro-Iranian Islamic theocracy, all thanks to Bush, Dick, and the other neo-con jackasses who "planned" this war. It is impossible to fathom anyone still supporting this war and their misguided policies.
