Now new and improved with updates on the dastardly Hagel.

UPDATE: The first call from a pro-Israel group to pull the Hagel nomination is Christians United for Israel. Its executive director, David Brog, tells me, “Enough is enough. The administration can no longer claim ignorance of this nominee’s disdain for Israel and blindness towards Iran. For the sake of our nation President Obama must pull this nomination.” It remains to be seen if other groups that have begun losing patience with Hagel and the White House will follow suit.

UPDATE II: Now House Foreign Committee chairman Rep.. Ed Royce (R-Calif.) tells me he’s had enough of Hagel: “The long list of policy concerns that have arisen makes it impossible for me to see how Senator Hagel is the right pick for one of the most important and demanding positions at this very challenging time.”
