Hagel the Horrible

I just finished watching Sen. Ted Cruz's (who is getting more impressive by the day it seems) questioning of Chuck Hagel during the nomination hearings.  Hagel looks worse and worse with every passing minute, and even some members from the Obama administration are questioning his performance thus far.

Today Cruz laid bare Hagel's past agreements with a couple of callers on Al Jazeera  (now Al Gore approved) during an interview in 2009.  One caller called the U.S. "the world's bully" and the other called Israel's self-defense a "sickening slaughter."

Please watch:

In what is becoming typical in these hearings, it seems that Hagel's answers consist either of lies, misleading or contradictory statements seemingly intended to confuse the committee members, or non-answers that don't clarify anything.

Again, this is the man who President Obama thinks is best suited to be secretary of defense.
