Obama has nominated John Brennan to lead the company and Chuck Hagel as his next Sec/Def. - http://www.smh.com.au/world/obama-makes-controversial-picks-for-security-team-20130108-2cdd7.html

Brennan shouldn't even be a consideration considering his inept handling of information during the aftermath of Neptune Spear. I've never seen an agency "veteran" look so ignorant & uninformed during a press conference. At such a pivotal time in the agencies history, Bazza nominates this bloke? (i suppose it does make sense, as he's been a yes man unlike, McCrystal & Petraeus)

Chuck Hagel i feel is a great choice for Sec/Def. He could do alot in the way of strengthing ties with Middle east states and bringing about peace.
He's also one of the few not bought and paid for by the "Israel First Lobby". If the US decides to back aways from its close ties with Israel, as Obama's actions have indicated, that could be seen as a peace offering by Mid East states, which could go along way in repairing it's damaged image. It also makes sense as Israel offers the US no strategic, military or economic advantage, where as other mid east states can.

What's everyone else think?

I like Hagel for Sec of Defense. I know nothing about Brennan, except that Walter Brennan played Grandpa on "The Real McCoys".

of course you do. bigots stick together.

*“Ambassadorial posts are sensitive,” Hagel said. “They are representing America. They are representing our lifestyle, our values, our standards. And I think it is an inhibiting factor to be gay — openly, aggressively gay, like Mr. Hormel — to do an effective job.”

He later apologized for the remark. Sort of like Jesse Jackson's "hymie town" remark. Much ado about nothing.

C'mon, if you want to talk about stupid remarks, I'm sure every elected official inside the beltway has put their foot in their mouth more than once...

I can understand Hagels POV, look at what Petraeus just went through? Honey-Pot blackmail works.... Even if we didn't get the whole story...

Depending on Hormels Ambassadorial posting, it could marginalise him in the more conservative countries. Plus dont forget how it looks with the Christians in Action...

Did Jesse not make the "hymie town" remark? Am I lying?

no, you're just finding any reason whatsoever to denigrate a black person. has nothing to do whatsoever with anything in this thread, but of course it's just how you are.

you're a straight up racist. it oozes out of you.

Obama is up to something and Hagel will be the fall guy.
Remember back when Obama was first elected, most or all of his cabinet quit within months.

How dare I accurately quote a black man!!!

It has everything to do with this thread. It is an example of a high profile person saying something that he later regretted. Jesse seems no worse for wear over his gaffe; I suggest that we extend the same courtesy to Hagel.

Do I need to remind you that Hagel is Hussein's appointee. If Hussein likes him aren't you obligated to lick the sweat off of all four high profile gonads?

After reading a little more about Hagel he is definetly the man for the job.

A former enlisted man who served in Vietnam. he had this to say to his republican detractors in '08;

''Let me clear something up here if there's any doubt in your mind. I'm a United States senator. I'm not an Israeli senator. I'm a United States senator. I support Israel. But my first interest is, I take an oath of office to the constitution of the United States. Not to a president, not to a party, not to Israel.''

''The political reality is that … the Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people up here,''

William Kristol quoted an unnamed Republican aid - ''Send us Hagel and we will make sure every American knows he is an anti-Semite.''
