^^^^^ CB: Gee, u mean that Obama has nominated somebody who

" is one of the very, very few prominent national politicians from either party who has been brave enough to question and dissent from the destructive bipartisan orthodoxies on foreign policy. What plausible Democratic candidate for this job has been willing publicly to point out that the US and Israel are separate countries and American interests should trump Israeli interests when they conflict, or to advocate for direct negotiations with Hamas, or to candidly point out that America's Middle East wars are fought for oil<http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/mike-friends-blog/six-years-ago-chuck-hagel-told-truth-about-iraq>, or to condemn the power of the pro-Israel lobby within both parties, or to harshly point out the stupidity of attacking Iran rather than cowardly mouth the "all-options-on-the-table" platitude?"

What have the left Obama haters have to say about that ?
