- 58-41 a near record close vote. A show of no confidence.
- Israel now accepts the fact that the U.S. is not an ally.
- Senator Rand Paul voted for Hagel. I Wonder why?
- Hagel has let on in the past that the U.S. is a bully.

Aside from
its effects on policy at the Pentagon, where Hagel will start his job
with a diminished stature, the enduring legacy of the Hagel confirmation
fight will likely be increased division between the two parties on
Israel policy. Many of Hagel's
professed views about Israel
would, until very recently, have been unacceptable to Democrats as well
as Republicans. Yet during the Obama era, and under the influence of
left-wing groups within the party, Democrats have shifted significantly
on the issue. - See more at:

In his
confirmation hearings before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Hagel
seemed to validate his critics' concerns with a surprisingly poor
performance that led to new questions about his competence to lead the
Pentagon. Hagel's many supporters in the media leapt to his defense
against his Senate interlocutors, such as Ted Cruz (R-TX), a freshman
Tea Party-supported Senator who questioned Hagel aggressively in the
hearing - See more at:
