When Israel invaded Lebanon in the 1980s, I recall an editorial cartoon where an Israeli officer was asking a tank officer…Why did you stop? Was it tanks, aircraft? Hordes of Lebanese with anti tank weapons.The tank commander says…One US Marine.The marines had stopped the Israeli forces from crossing lines set by the UN. A few weeks later, the barracks blew up and over 200 Americans died and we left. Lebanon suffered.Israel is a great nation. Sometimes their government sucks. Sounds like…hmmm….let me think.Thoughtfully,C.

One Jewish banker saved the 1776 Revolution by providing funds to Washington’s Army.-I want a Pro-Israel and Pro-USA person heading DOD.
Hagel simply stated the truth. If Israel wants to PROVE they have a right to exist, they were after all created as a modern nation BY THE UN!, then the need to stop attacking and invading their neighbors, and WE need to STOP regarding Netanyahu as governor of our 51 state. It IS significant that close to a majority of ISRAELIS, do NOT support Netanyahu, the advancing “settlements” and denial of the rule of international law.
Hopefully Hagel will be a voice of reason in the DoD. We should pull away from the neo-con world domination matriz and toward a more balanced view of the worlld. We have succeeded in burning too many bridges. Obama’s unreported performance in Phnom Pen in November was horrible.http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Global_Economy/NK27Dj02.html

Outside the one token Socialist senator, three parties control congress: Democrats, Republicans, and the veto power, Likud.
