GOP Opposition to Top Defense Pick Grows
By Washington Free Beacon, March 2, 2021
Republicans on the Senate Armed Services Committee are meeting privately on Tuesday morning to discuss their growing policy concerns about Colin Kahl, President Joe Biden’s nominee for undersecretary of defense for policy at the Pentagon, according to sources close to the committee.
Kahl, a former Obama State Department official, was a key architect of the Iran deal and has been at the forefront of a number of controversial moves, including, reportedly, the decision to remove a statement affirming Jerusalem as Israel’s capital from the 2012 Democratic National Convention platform.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R., Tenn.) was the first member of the Senate Armed Services Committee to publicly oppose Kahl’s appointment on Monday, according to Politico, citing serious disagreements on policy.
But other Republicans have privately voiced similar objections and are looking to plan out their next steps ahead of Kahl’s scheduled confirmation hearing on Thursday.
“Republicans have concerns about Kahl and want to discuss amongst themselves the seriousness” of the issues at the closed-door 11 a.m. meeting, one source told the Washington Free Beacon.

Republicans are closely eying Kahl’s background and expect to raise a number of their disagreements during his hearing, which “is going to be sporty, to say the least,” according to the source.
Kahl, who has also served as Biden’s longtime foreign policy adviser, was one of the Obama administration’s most vocal advocates for the Iran deal and a staunch opponent of tougher U.S. sanctions on Tehran. He wrote a policy proposal for containing a nuclear Iran in 2013, arguing that the United States “would likely be forced to shift toward containment regardless of current preferences” if Iran obtained nuclear weapons.
In 2017, Kahl opposed a bill to sanction the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which carries out Iran’s global terrorism operations, arguing that the United States already had the ability to sanction individual IRGC members. The legislation was “gratuitous” and “a symbolic gesture to basically rub it in the nose of the IRGC,” he said.

I’m Jewish and I voted for President Trump twice. Yes, a lot of Jewish people voted for Pedophile Joe. The problem is the the Mainstream Media doesn’t point out that a lot of these scum he is picking are anti Israel and anti Jewish, so they have no freaking clue. I’ve run into a person with no clue already.

It’s time to recognize the schism. Any so-called “liberal Jew” who voted for Jew-haters is no more a Jew than a “Christian” who denies the divinity of Christ can be considered a Christian. They are converts to a new religion: Progessive Leftism, which holds as one of its most basic tenets (one of its five “pillars” so to speak) a hatred of Israel and the right of Jews to national self-determination.

The GOP loves going after the small things. Kabuki Theater and lovely photo op’s.
The real problem is Joe is a usurper and traitor.
His cabinet picks are a moot point!

“His cabinet picks are a moot point!” Naturally your are joking! His cabinet picks speak volumes about this imbecile president’s mentality and direction. They are essence of the trash you’d expect from Obama. A few are Muslim of Palestinian origin, tthus anti-Semites and anti-Israel. The CIA Director is favourably disposed toward the Muslim Brotherhood and toward negotiating the nuclear deal with Iran. A couple of idiotic woman think that ‘systemic racism’ affects climate change. America is sinking to the level of Africa where once president of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki, considered that AIDS could be cured with “African potatoes and salad”.

Given the collection of freaks that have come up to the Hill to answer questions from the “very interested” Senators, the meeting where the cabinet candidates were chosen must have sounded something like this:
Nope, not crazy enough.
Nope, not commie enough.
Nope, not trans enough.
Nope, not black enough.
Nope, not female enough.
Nope, not woke enough.
Nope, not Muslim enough.
Nope, not Israel hating enough.
Nope, too white, Christian, male and patriotic.
It’s very clear that none of the “Biden” candidates were chosen for qualifications.

Just another token traitor in a banana republic treasonous regime!
