Andrew Sullivan message to the President

These bastards are at it again,,.

Grow A Pair, Mr President

After the neocon chorus on the Sunday talk-shows, with Butters and Lieberman doing their usual Likudnik dance, there's word that Obama might be wavering in picking the realist, candid Republican, Chuck Hagel, as defense secretary. Let's just say that if Obama allows Bill Kristol to scalp a Purple Heart veteran for defense - then he will be betraying the core base that got him the nomination and the presidency twice. People didn't vote for Obama to get a neoconservative-dictated foreign policy.

1. If, like Sullivan and Hagel, president Obama is a moderate Republican without neocons tendency,

he should take Hagel.

2. Ouch. Damn. And yet I agree with Mr. Sullivan.
