New York – The New York Post (http://bit.ly/YBX6zt) today called for a deeper look into defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel’s qualifications for the job. It also questioned the reasons behind Sen. Chuck Schumer’s continued support for Hagel.

In its editorial, Citing a report by Bulgarian officials yesterday naming two Hezbollah operatives as the masterminds behind the July 18 terrorist bombing in Sofia that killed five Israeli tourists and a Bulgarian bus driver, the piece asks whether or not Hagel’s alleged ‘transformation’ is believable.
Schumer claims Hagel has evolved since 2006 when he refused to sign a letter urging the EU to label Hezbollah a terrorist group. As evidence Schumer has quoted Hagel’s explanation that, “Iran is a different country. Hezbollah and Hamas are different organizations.”
But the Post asks, “Really? Different?” —–before running through Hezbollah’s “long history of terrorist attacks around the world.”
“If Hagel was so blind then, what makes anyone think he’d be any better today?” the Post asks.
Thank you NY Post, it’s alegitimate question.
Schumer talks a great game , however between me and you , all he likes to do is be in pictures and on the sunday morning tv circuit. in all his years he has brought nothing home for n.y. and we won’t get anything because we always vote democratic , so why should the higher ups in the democratic party do anything for us when schumer is always at there punch bowl and drinking everything they have to say.
foolish people dont you realize – Shumer may help us locally but he is still a Company man as a result HIS BOSS THE PRESIDENT says support Hagel so what does he have to do Support Hagel – SHoin !
Schumer is a total phony. He is a lacky for Obama and the Democrats. I just don’t understand the Agudah’s infatuation with this guy, It’s about time that people in New York wake up and realize who this guy really is and that is a fhony and a fraud.
Very simple. Chuck Schumer supported Hagel so that he could be MC at the inauguration. Schumer is a farce! Call his office at 202-224-6542 and let him know how you feel.
Schumer has sold his Jewish soul to the company store, agudah sells themselves to the company store, they are under the mistaken notion that they will get what they want that way, maybe, short term, but it is in the long run not smart. Stand up for what is right and that is where the clout is, it’s all about the votes.
Hashem Yerachem al amoi Yisroel – HAGEL IS NOT ALLOWED TO WIN
Schumer can’t help it!
How is he ever going to ask for and get money from the Democrats, if he goes against their choice?
Guarantee! If the Democratic Party wants something, Schumer will agree.
