Defense Secretary Hagel: “The world is exploding all over”

August 13, 2014

Yesterday Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel had an interview and he was asked about the unrest in the Middle East and Russian and this is what he had to say:

The world is exploding all over. And so is the United States going to continue to have the resources, the capabilities, the leadership, the bandwidth to continue with the rebalance toward the Asia Pacific? And the answer is yes.

  I find that comment to be quite interesting because last month the White House defended its foreign policy by stating the following:

I think that there have been a number of situations in which you’ve seen this administration intervene in a meaningful way, that has substantially furthered American interests and substantially improved the, uh, you know, the – the tranquility of the global community,”

  Perhaps Chuck Hagel did not get the talking points.

    They both lied! Hagel lied when he said the answer is yes.

        America’s Watchtower edit: here is the text from the original comment which was deleted.
        Instead of the ‘melting pot’ analogy their using a different kind … ‘toil & troubles’ from the Macbeth witch’s http://www.shakespeare-navigators.com/macbeth/T41.html … including the verse, “Something wicked this way comes.”
        If these people were in any other position or biz, they’re be fired or shut down. It’s insane that this Nation is run by their insanity – relies and goes along with them. Macbeth seemed to understand this.
        ‘Disillusionment’ comes from knowing and living by a Greater Truth. {Warning: not PC approved … uses God’s Name)!
        OOPS … Wrong link, please delete that Steve and use this one. Thx.

        Thanks for the edit Steve. This came to mind is what Bunker mentioned. (Not PC, mentions God’s Name – sensitive souls beware!).
        “… the tranquility of the global community,” even pot smokers don’t think this way, he must be on something stronger.

    Tranquility of the global community? Does Chuck Hagel really believe that? Has he not been watching the new?

      Apparently not because that is where he finds out about everything, especially the scandals. 😉
