Back in 2004 the Greater Israel Lobby (not to be confused with the lesser Israel Lobby) was riding pretty high. They even designed a flag for Iraq that looked peculiarly like the flag of some other place nearby.

And the USA government called on Noah Feldman a professor at New York University, to write a constitution for Iraq as well.
Well, these same folks are concerned that the Obama administration is not adequately compliant and is not about to embark on another shooting war for Israel. They drew the line at allowing Chuck Hagel to become Secretary of Defense.
They lost to the Lesser Israel Lobby, which is seemingly less insane than is the Greater Israel Lobby.
The Greater Israel Lobby is the right wing groups that believe that Israel must openly dominate its entire region, that the Palestinians must be expelled or enslaved. It uses and manipulates use the might of the United States to get their way. This is AIPAC, nut cases like Sheldon Adelson. etc. They throw lots of money around and have great influence in the media and they usually get their way in the Congress of the United States.
Less formal, the lesser Israel Lobby wants Israel to be a Jewish State, wants it to be aligned with pro western Moslem entities and is less vocally rabid against the Palestinians. They also fear a huge popular backlash against Israel and the Jewish community growing out of the use of American military forces to bluntly do Israel's bidding. These groups and individuals are aligned with the Obama administration which is trying to loosen the grip of the Greater Israel Lobby.
Chuck Hagel has the oddest military background of the Vietnam era, except perhaps for mine and the new Secretary of State, what's-his-name.
Yes to hear some people say it you'd have to think that the Secretary of Defense sets US foreign policy, not the President and the Secretary of State. How strange...
Watch Hagel go on to pull some pretty impressive rabbi out of a hat, something that might already hae been arranged, in the not too distant future.

Chuck Hagel is being groomed and prepped to become President of the United States
All right, you have to stay with me on this one. I have some previous posts about Hagel. In the first item I try to entertain you and explain that he is a soft cop, but still a cop. What I mean is he is here to enforce the interests of the one percent, even if many of them don't "get" how he's trying to help them.
This Guy Chuck Hagel.
Then I showed you how the story of his Vietnam heroism which I am not questioning in the basics, that is he was a sergeant in a combat unit, he got badly wounded, he demonstrated personal physical courage lacking in most leaders of his party (chicken hawks).
Now, the country is in a profound crisis. The governing party (usually the GOP, and they rule through the House and the filibuster rule even now) is in disarray. The country needs to have a dad, one who knows all about trouble, who is b rave and independent, who is in the Bill Clinton sense at least a"black guy," someone who has empathy with the sufferers and those unfairly treated,
And so, waiting in the wings, having been prepped since his days in army basic training comes Chuck Hagel who sold newspapapers at the age of seven and confronted his drunken and abusive father at the age of sixteenwhen he became the man of the family
He was chosen for a low profile highly classified mission in the Army, although he had not finished college and was a draftee, those most often sent into the infantry. He took the training and asked an Army not known for complying with the wishes of draftees to excuse him, but to send him with the secrets he held in his brain to the morass of Vietnam combat, not the place to send a very young man with a very big secrret,
