Don't you think we need to put the nation first ahead of politics, and even pride in our home state.
The odds say CHUCK HAGEL WILL PROBABLY BE CONFIRMED AS THE NEXT SECRETARY OF DEFENSE. PRESIDENT Obama WANTS HIM AND THE SENATE IS MAJORITY DEMOCRAT.
I am from Nebraska the home state of Chuck Hagel. One of our two GOP Senators have come out in support of Hagel. Some in my state think it would be great to have a Nebraska boy working for the President. However many of us like others around America are putting the country first by having questions if Hagel is right for the job. All of us should be thankful for what Hagel did for the nation while in the military.
Still he has a record while he served as a US Senator. There ae some troubling things he did while in office which all in the Senate should look into. Such as his comments
THE PENTAGON NEEDING TO BE “PAIRED DOWN,” HIS OPPOSITION TO A U.S. MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM, HIS SUPPORT OF ELIMINATING NUCLEAR WEAPONS (MY VIEW IS OUR ENEMIES SHOULD GO FIRST), , HIS LONG HISTORY OF OPPOSING SANCTIONS ON IRAN AND OF COURSE HIS REFERENCE TO “THE JEWISH LOBBY” WHICH IS OFTEN A CODE WORD FOR OPPOSITION TO ISRAEL. These are things that should be looked into ahead of politics, and state pride.
What do you think,
Until next time,
I'm Billy David Dickson
