Give Chuck a Chance
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN
In
case you haven’t heard, President Obama is considering appointing Chuck
Hagel, a former United States senator from Nebraska and a Purple Heart
winner, as the next secretary of defense — and this has triggered a
minifirefight among Hagel critics and supporters. I am a Hagel
supporter. I think he would make a fine secretary of defense — precisely
because some of his views are not “mainstream.” I find the opposition
to him falling into two baskets: the disgusting and the philosophical.
It is vital to look at both to appreciate why Hagel would be a good fit
for Defense at this time.
