WASHINGTON — Defense SecretaryChuck Hagel is stepping down under pressure, the first cabinet-level casualty of the collapse of President Obama’s Democratic majority in the Senate and the struggles of his national security team amid an onslaught of global crises.

The president, who is expected to announce Mr. Hagel’s resignation in a Rose Garden appearance on Monday, made the decision to ask his defense secretary — the sole Republican on his national security team — to step down last Friday after a series of meetings over the past two weeks, senior administration officials said.

Are you still going to post here after Obama is out of office or is your hysteria over everything Obama a permanent affliction?

From the same article:

He raised the ire of the White House in August as the administration was ramping up its strategy to fight the Islamic State, directly contradicting the president, who months before had likened the Sunni militant group to a junior varsity basketball squad. Mr. Hagel, facing reporters in his now-familiar role next to General Dempsey, called the Islamic State an “imminent threat to every interest we have,” adding, “This is beyond anything that we’ve seen.” White House officials later said they viewed those comments as unhelpful

The neo-cons are pushing for a leg up in re-establishing it influence for foreign interventionism.

Hysteria my ass...just the facts, GERTRUDE.

Hagel was hired to manage a withdraw, Obama has reversed course and now wants to up the ante so he is looking to dump Hagel and replace him with a NeoCon

Gates has been real vocal in the last week about Barry and his geeks trying to micromanage military operations...reminiscent of Nixon's aides picking the B-52 targets around Hanoi. And we all know what happened to Tricky Dick don't we.

The MinC has no idea what a neocon is...and would run shrieking if he met one.

You know what's laughable, Jakey? That you blame "neo-cons" for the President's inability to find a Defense Secretary who will go along with his misguided foreign policy! Hagel has been fired because he pointed out reality to a group of ideologues who want to base policy on their own belief of what the world should be rather than what it is.

 

[Oldstyle]

Hagel follows Leon Panetta and Bob Gates...two other Secretaries of Defense who also were highly critical of Barack Obama. Notice a pattern here?

I wonder if Bebe would take the job?

 

[deltex1]

Fox is saying Hagel was fired...Obabble wants to reinvigorate his strategy. What the fuck strategy is that?

Everyone will speak down what you are saying......but really would anybody really be surprised? not me

You lie as easily as you write: I said nothing of the sort "for the President's inability to find a Defense Secretary who will go along with his misguided foreign policy." Then you agree with your own statement attributed to me. I bet you are always confused in the morning.
