Tehran Supports Chuck Hagel, and Nobody Really Seems to Care

Posted on | February 18, 2013 | 9 Comments

This ought to be shocking: 

Hooshang Amirahmadi, who led Rutgers’ Center for Middle Eastern Studies when Hagel came to campus, is the founder and president of the American-Iranian Council. He arranged for Hagel’s speech on March 2, 2007, the faculty source told The Daily Caller.

The connection between Obama’s choice for Secretary of Defense and Amirahmadi, a tool of the anti-American dictatorship in Tehran, really ought to be shocking – even more shocking than a Soviet spy becoming a key State Department official. Yet the embrace of America’s worst enemies is nowadays greeted with nonchalance, because . . .

Well, who is America’s worst enemy, eh?

[B]eing friendly with Hamas supporters is no obstacle to higher office in American politics. We elected a guy president twice who fits that description, remember?

Patriotism, R.I.P. Welcome to the post-American age . . .

    Hagel is just another Holiday-Season Elf, here to distribute Santobama Claus’s presents.

    On a less sarcastic note: either Israel is G-d’s to protect against all odds, or it isn’t. This POTUS grew up communist, and communism loved its pogroms.

    Is it true that, if Hagel doesn’t get approved, he and Boehner will star in new TV show on Al Gorezeera: This Old Souse???

    It’s a case of Ideology trumping Common Sense.
