Anyway on the Hagel front, I find it odd that for all the hot air supposedly coming from the opposition about that nomination and how tough it'll be...he's fucking evaporated like an icecube in July. Israel's government publicly wants nothing to do with that debate. Even AIPAC (the special interest group that Hagel refered to as the "Jewish Lobby") has decided to go fishing instead of fighting Hagel's nomination.

Sometimes when confronting actual bullshit, it gets shoveled.
