Why is Senator John Boozman filibustering the proposed appointment of former U.S. Senator Republican Chuck Hagel?                February 14, 2013

Senator Hagel, a soldier of renown, recipient of 2 PH’s received in the Viet Nam war.

Early on, Senator Hagel supported the war against Iraq.  Upon due consideration and objective thought, Senator Hagel recognized the attack on Iraq was built on lies and subterfuge, and America’s recent proclivities for preemptive warfare against defenseless countries, while unconstitutional and unlawful, withdrew his support for America’s murdering endeavors.  Senator Hagel, along the way indicated in a speech that former president George Bush and his enablers/cronies had blood on their hands and he was exactly right.  Former President G.W. Bush can only be described as a war criminal.  Twelve years mired in these military & economic quagmires with nothing gained, but look what has been lost.  4,700 American soldiers killed, thousands maimed, coupled with huge numbers of suicides.  Then there are of course the tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis who have been murdered, the destruction of their country, and the trillions dedicated to military might gone up in smoke. Recall that 911 was said to be caused by 19 Saudis. Why then is the U.S. blowing up any number of other countries and subsidizing rebel thugs. Who benefits? The Military/Industrial Complex.  Note, the Military presence everywhere. Ours is a peaceful society?

Senator Hagel, a principled individual, a former soldier who fully recognizes the brutal costs of war, had the nerve to bolt the warmongering Republican Party’s policy.  He also recognized the Zionist influence that was fanning the flames for more Mideast destruction, and is ongoing.  Specifically, the Zionist organization most responsible for the carnage is an unregistered foreign lobbying group that goes by the name of AIPAC, and coincidentally controls the U.S. Congress.

Senator John Boozman on the other hand was a shill for G.W. Bush and is still shilling for the warmongering Republican Party, now the Party of Irrelevance (POI).  Senator Boozman can only be described as one of many enemies of the American people that reside in the U.S. Congress & Senate.  One need only examine the many attacks on American freedoms that Boozman has been involved in under the guise of the phony war on terrorism.  I say phony because if there was a real threat of terrorism our national borders would have been secured long ago. As of this date there is no intention of securing U.S. borders, nor will there be.

Briefly; Some of Boozman’s freedom-taking entanglements are:

1.    Voted for the Patriot Acts twice
2.    Voted for the Military Commissions Act, known as the Torture Authorization Act…denies the Writ of Habeas Corpus.
3.    The Violent Radicalization & Homegrown Terrorism Act…the Act allows  government to define any & all crime, including “thought crimes”.
4.    The National Defense Authorization Act…allows 30,000 drones to overfly the U.S. for surveillance…Targeting Squadrons will be based with the drones. NDAA further empowers the president to institute assassination, allows for kidnapping, no trial, no legal counsel, and prison sentences meted out by government.
5.    Etc. etc. etc.

Senator John Boozman voted for every one of the aforementioned heinous Acts.  He has proven himself to be an avid destroyer of freedom and a drummer boy for the bankrupt Republican Party. Senator Boozman is so immersed in legal & constitutional crime that he can never dig out. 

Senator Hagel chose to use his courage that he displayed on the battlefield to break free of the warmongering Republican Party when he said he was “a representative of Nebraska, not of Israel”, and Senator Boozman has the audacity to stand against an independent American hero.

Why is the American government nothing more than a lapdog for Israel?

P.S.  A quote by Senator Boozman, he said Tuesday he would vote against Hagel. Now get this, Boozman said “He has too much baggage for one of the most important positions we have”.   Baggage, Senator Boozman?  As a globe-trotting certified member of the international army NATO, Senator, you are the one carrying the “baggage”.
