Today it's Hagel that gets thrown under the bus.

(ABC News) Outgoing Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel acknowledged Friday for the first time that some officials in the White House disagreed with his slow pace in releasing Guantanamo detainees. He explained he was cautious because he took “very seriously” his responsibility to certify the release of detainees to ensure they did not return to the battlefield. Full story at link. But remember, these Gitmo detainees were probably not terrorists according to the logic of Obama. ...

Rand Paul. He goes on the record as being concerned about Hagel's "ties" to Friends of Hamas. Don't senators have better sources of information available to them? ...

Now what will Obama do? Syria crossed the line that Obama drew. President Obama has said the verified use of chemical weapons by the regime would be a "red line" and a "game-changer" for U.S. and international military intervention in the Syrian civil war. Syria has been stockpiling chemical weapons and reports indicate it has sarin, tabun,along with mustard gas and hydrogen cyanide. A 2011 CIA report said Syria was also developing the potent nerve agent VX, which could render a city uninha ...

This is really about whether we want a war in the Middle East that would dwarf anything we've been involved in there before. Excerpts from: "Neocons Against Chuck Hagel: The Independent Senator Who Wouldn't Genuflect," by Doug Bandow, Senior Fellow. First, excerpts about him and them. Lower down about the end-times/Christian Zionist theology powering the Neocons and trying to lead us into what they see ultimately as Armageddon. The entire article is at the link below. ...

I don't have the willpower to stay away from the trainwreck that is the majority (not all) of MTStars. I've emailed the mods and asked to be removed. They ignored me. How do I get thrown off? Seriously, work needs to be done and it's not getting done. So, I will resort to what I need to do in order to get thrown off. Time to let 'er loose! So mods please just remove me or I'm going to speak my mind minus filter. ...

"In case you haven’t heard, President Obama is considering appointing Chuck Hagel, a former United States senator from Nebraska and a Purple Heart winner, as the next secretary of defense — and this has triggered a minifirefight among Hagel critics and supporters. I am a Hagel supporter. I think he would make a fine secretary of defense — precisely because some of his views are not “mainstream.” "... because he has rather bluntly stated that his job as a U.S. sena ...

This is the astonishing moment a book was apparently hurled at the head of President Barack Obama during a campaign rally in Philadelphia. The flying missile narrowly missed hitting the President yesterday. It is not clear what the book was, where it came from in the crowd, or why it was thrown at Mr Obama - who did not appear to notice the danger. Duck, Mr President! A book narrowly misses Barack Obama's head after it is thrown on stage during a rally in Philadelphia today ...

Retired Army Sgt. 1st Class William Kotel said this was done in an attempt to paint a rosy picture of the coalition's efforts in the Middle East. "They left key information out of intelligence, such as attacks," Kotel said. "The idea was that Al Qaeda was decimated, so therefore it wasn’t part of the threat analysis that should be submitted higher." Kotel said that is very critical information that is important to the nation's safety and security. "The chain of command an ...

Had a PA accidentally Dermabond her glove to this poor little girl's head. They had to cut 2 sections of hair out to get fix it. I glued my butt to the floor once when laying tile, but dang...poor kid. ...

A while back I posted a message that the oil commodity prices were going up and the last time oil was about $90, gas went to over $4.00. Do you think there is less oil out there? The last time gas prices increased that much, oil companies reported record profits and Bush was president. Hmmm. Republicans have the House. I think I will go buy some oil stock. ...

I cannot believe it. I had hardly any pain yesterday except after the drops were put in and today I can see to read quite a lot, not fine print, but can read this board and some other things. The colors are so bright and the white is so white and bright. I feel like I have new eyes. Thanks so much for praying all of you. BTW, they had to delay surgery for me and the first patient because something was wrong on the light. They finally got that fixed and I was only 20 minutes late going ...

Supposedly, DHS shut down 20 of these birth tourist homes, all in California. It costs up to $50K for the Chinese mothers-to-be to come and stay here, having their babies in a regular hospital, and then go home. The Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution grants automatic citizenship to everyone born in the United States. It was intended to ensure that freed slaves would be able to claim citizenship they rightly deserved. Today, however, some creative "birth tourists" are ta ...

Believe it or not, I got a wonderful cat at a shelter today! He is a gorgeous black cat, looks like a little panther, and is incredibly affectionate and good natured. He had been there quite a while because the shelter people said they have such a hard time placing black cats! He is a love (and my third black cat), and I am so glad that a friend of mine suggested I take a black cat! So, no Savannah cat, no pit, no Rottie, just a wonderful and loving black cat! He is a very peaceful creature ...
