Mr. Chuck Hagel, the US defence secretary said that he ensured that the US army is ready to attack the Iranian nuclear program whenever they feel it’s time to attack. He further said that he totally agreed with what Mr. President said about Iran’s nuclear program. He said that the United States holds an option to take steps to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power. This statement is given by Hegel after a question raised by a senator armed service committee.
Mr. Hagel further said that Iran must take this matter seriously and there are still chances to hold diplomatic talks but the pressure is on so there are considering closing this window. This statement is strongly opposed by the opposition when Mr.Hagel faces the republican. They questioned him about the policy he states about the Iranian nuclear program and for the economic sanction imposed on Iran as they did in the Iraqi war. He also made a remark about the Jewish lobby impact in Washington. Senator John Cornyn who is opposing Mr.Hagel said that the nominee was rejected in previous positions on this kind of issues in the political strategy to win affirmation.
Confirmation conversion:
This rapid and suitable alteration beggar’s idea, Cornyn addressed in a dialogue on the Senate. “He just desires to win support from the members of this chamber, what we can call it as a confirmation conversion.
Some of the answers that Mr.Hagel has given to the committee shows the same policy of the pentagon and the white house on Afghan and war on Iraq. It includes the budget reduction, some issues among personnel and weapon program. Mr. Hagel told the press in the past that the pentagon budget wss over drafted. He further had written that these budget cuts might lead to a devastating impact on the position of Mr. Panetta across the board. Meanwhile Mr. Obama has agreed to cut the federal budget deficit and also cut down the defense budget by $45 billion.
“It would damage armed forces readiness and interrupt each and every venture” said Mr. Hagel. He further said that it would cause negative impact on the overall moral of the armed forces and it would become a tough task to recruit and retain the forces. He further said it would be a devastating impact on the military and civil workers. It would also affect the allies and the enemies, according to Mr. Hagel. Mr. Panetta said that this cut down in budget would be doomsday Mechanism.When talking about the introduction of expensive weapon in US military, Mr. Hagel said that the new Air Jets would be included in the US Armed forces soon.
