31. #7 Harold...You are a Joke

You are really one for the books. The PLO didn't exist until almost 20 yrs after Israel became a state. Its leader, Yasser Arafat, was an Egyptian, born and raised, even schooled in Egypt. The killing of Jews in Israel began prior to Israel's existence and the idea that Islam wants to take over the world by force is nothing new (To anyone who reads and learns) Iran's nuclear ambition has nothing to do with Israel, however morons like yourself will always try to blame others,rather than take time to learn facts. It's the easy way out and shows clearly your laziness and ignorance!
32. Hagel and Obama
(02.27.13)
these two incompetents deserve each other. obama has sent out his propaganda people to spam other websites claiming that those who opposed the hagel nomination are "israel firsters," whatever that might mean. of course obama and hagel are muslim firsters since they support muslims regardless of muslim behaviour.
33. The Manchurian is deploying according to his Master Plan.

34. Remember Forster Brooks???
Moses Brown ,   from Dimona   (02.27.13)
Man, just take a look at the picture of this dude! He looks and acts like that drunk guy from TV, Foster Brooks! Great choice, Obama! Burp!
35. To: No. 14
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.27.13)
You are truly out of touch. Most Americans have not forgotten the invasion of the United States Embassy in Iran, nor have they forgotten the taking of American hostages, who were kept in cruel captivity for over a year. Most Americans have not forgotten the video of Iranian mullahs kicking and defiling the corpses of the United States servicemen who died in Carter's pathetic attempt to rescue the hostages. Those dead American servicemen have never been returned to the United States, by the way. Most Americans remember the events of September 11, 2001, and the videos of Arabs celebrating wildly in the West Bank and Gaza, while tearful Jews queued on line in Israel for HOURS to give blood. You're the one who knows nothing. By the way, the United States does not have a "defense minister." The United States has a Secretary of Defense. I guess you're just pretty dumb.
36. Next Up - Jack Lew
Mark of Lewiston ,   USA   (02.27.13)
Wonder what reason will be attached to his filibuster. He isn't Republican enough to sign money? After all he's isn't republican at all. Even worse for Lew, he's not a fan of Ayn Rand.
37. Pay no attention ...
Colorado ,   USA   (02.27.13)
...to the paid operatives on the boards today. Their job is to puff Hagel. They work for Soros who works with O. Hagel is just a front man who will do WHATEVER Obama tells him to. 800,000 Pentagon employees were dismissed by o ahead of this nomination confirmation. He is retiring and replacing good generals and expert military mcommandos and marksmen keep turning up dead.
38. Gambling on MAD beating PSYCHO
Zechariah   (02.27.13)
39. A big embarassment for Obama
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (02.27.13)
This goes to show how arrogant Obama is. No secretary of defense has ever been confirmed with more than 3 senators voting against him. He should've withdrawn the nomination. This will cost the deomcrats politically who voted for Hagel.
40. Another crow for AIPAC and israel firsters ,...
split ,   US   (02.27.13)
Love it !!! ,...
