How is that helping the Persians? Not too much, but it hurts a one-time close ally more, and that is...intolerable.

For this administration, yes.

It's why they often like raiding the Senate, they are less likely to go ape-sh*t over one of their own...

Cronyism, corruption, incompetence, stupidity, cowardice...these are all virtues in the US Senate...

Post by: Libertas on February 19, 2013, 08:48:27 PM: I agree with the assertion Hoft is trying to make but given the history of the Senate, especially under DemoNazi rule and given the fecklessness of the GOP, I understandably do not share his optimism that this will kill his nomination. And even if it did, the SCoaMF will nominate someone just as bad but without the attendant record to threaten them.

We are living in dark times my friends. Even when right is right, the end result is in doubt.

We know his ~~Barney Fife's~~ bona fides but when the NYTs runs with (R)Hagel with Obama it's credibility out the kazoo to the brain dead and to history.
