Colonel Evgeny Khrushchev: Vultures Feast on Purple Heart!

Our US Senate Shames America. While many folks merrily praised St Valentine for the Day of Love, somewhere in Washington DC, one taciturn Vietnam War vet paid tribute to St. Sebastian, to put an end to this tortuous ordeal on February 14 as the last day of hate. Alas, as bad luck would have it, the irreconcilable Cruz aiders have prevailed again as the longest political witch hunt in US history, to keep an American warrior crucified, will be extended over the next 10 days of Capitol infamy. Senator Hagel, badly mauled but unrepentant, has yet to persevere and survive the final encounter with the grisly jaws of GOP-lins, to be anointed as a new Secretary of Defense before the end of the winter. Even if he doesn't live up to the expectations, of his many supporters in and outside the Beltway as the sarge in charge of the Pentagon, he has already earned the right for the 3d Purple Heart for his new wounds in forlorn recon mission as presidential vanguard and lightning rod. First, the Unholy Inquisition resorted to harassing fire by proxy, to calumniate the Senator as hardcore anti Semitic gay basher, and force the president and his DOD nominee into retreat & surrender. John McCain had been making propaganda films for the North Vietnamese, which took a presidential pardon to prevent his court marshal. When that preemptive scare tactic didn't play out as nicely as it did before against probing intention to nominate pugnacious UN Ambassador to run the State Department, the Guardians of Vice & Virtue activated the Plan B on the sly. Thus, SAS Senate Armed Services Committee Q&A supposedly friendly session on the Pentagon chief nomination, has whip-lashed into macabre character assassination, led by special interest bloodhounds & publicity vultures. The hearing was intended to be only about Chuck Hagel, and his vision to deal with multiple DOD challenges, from looming sequestration to military corpulence to 'victorious' narco state in Afghanistan, and 'freedom fighters' 'Spring' board in Africa and Syria. Instead, it offered HD close up at the paragon of perfect polity, streamed alive by TV & internet to American & international audiences alike.
