Both are controversial choices for different reasons, but it is Mr Hagel (pictured below left) who currently serves as co-chairman of the president's intelligence advisory board, who faces the rougher path to confirmation. Although a decorated Vietnam soldier and a Republican senator for 12 years, he has few friends in his own party. Pro-Israeli groups, such as the Emergency Committee for Israel, have also entered the fray, describing Mr Hagel as "not a responsible option". Some of the wilder comments have come close to accusing Mr Hagel of being an anti-Semite. How much of the huffing and puffing about Mr Hagel's supposed hostility towards Israel is for real is questionable. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
