Obama Administration: Bergdahl Was Chuck Hagel's Call | The Weekly Standard

JUN 9, 2014

According to Buck McKeon, the chairman of the House Armed Services committee, the Obama administration's briefers told the gathered House members that the person responsible for the decision to make the deal was not President Obama but Chuck Hagel, the secretary of defense.

"Now wait a minute, are you saying it was Secretary Hagel that made this decision, or was this the president of the United States?" McKeon, a California Republican, said to reporters. "It was the president of the United States that came out with the Bergdahls and took all the credit. And now that there's been a little pushback, he's moving away from it?"

The administration's claim that Hagel, not Obama, made the decision is at odds with what Hagel himself said on Meet the Press on June 1. "I signed off on the decision," Hagel said. "The president made the ultimate decision."
 
This is why you don't elect dirtball street thugs to be President of the United States let alone a senator. Obama's bus must be running on it's rims with all the people he has tossed under it. The good news is even folks on the left are beginning to see him as an Albatross. The closer we get to the end of his miserable time in the Oval Office the more the left wing of his party will be tempted to toss his ass under the bus. His APR will be in the 20's by the end of his term.

Obama is not a street thug. That would at least imply toughness and he doesn't even have that. He's just a stupid liberal who, like all liberals, can't do anything right.
 
Lies like Pathetic Obama now blames Bergdahl mess on Chuck Hagel!!! lead to increased democratic voter totals.
 
Can we expect "Hagel did it" like we had Bush did it?

If anything good comes out of this, it would be a full scale blast by Chuck Hagel.
 
Next they'll blame it on a Youtube video.
This administration is more incompetent by the day. They can't even lie convincingly.

So...Hagel was the closest lackey Obama could find to use as a political human shield?

I’ve never been a big fan of former Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, but one cannot help but feel some sympathy for a man who had to endure two years of fecklessness, incompetence and back-stabbing in the Obama White House. It would have been enough to drive any sane person stark, raving mad. Hagel announced his resignation in November 2014 (he stayed on a bit longer until replaced by Ashton Carter), but the brutal reality is that Obama had betrayed their friendship, and asked for his resignation, an utter humiliation.

Like an abused spouse suffering from Battered Wife Syndrome, Hagel, in an interview with Foreign Policy Magazine, stated, that he’s “always had a very good, positive relationship with the president,” and still held him “in high regard.” The praise, however, seems forced and hollow. Perhaps he doesn’t want to completely burn his bridges with Obama just yet.

But Hagel did not spare the rod and had some choice words for the administration’s national security advisor, Susan Rice. He claimed that she frequently convened unproductive, long-winded meetings that went on for hours without accomplishing anything. Tough decisions were frequently put off (as if vexing national security issues affecting the nation would somehow resolve themselves). Even more disturbing, Rice’s office would frequently subject the Pentagon to unwarranted meddling and micromanagement. Hagel, a Vietnam veteran, was likely cognizant of the Vietnam experience, when stiff-necked, professional pencil pushers tied the Pentagon’s hands with absurd rules of engagement and other forms of meddling, ensuring a prolonged, bloody conflict that would ultimately lead to defeat.

Some of Hagel’s criticisms have been echoed by various former high-level Pentagon officials including Leon Panetta, Martin Dempsey, and Michele Flournoy, lending credence to the notion that there is substance to Hagel’s allegations, and it’s not just another case of sour grapes. Moreover, former senior diplomat and special assistant to Obama, Dennis Ross, noted that Susan Rice had needlessly exacerbated difficult situations and was largely responsible for increasing tensions with close allies, such as Israel.

Though there seems to be a consensus that Susan Rice is a flawed and incompetent diplomat, ultimately, it is the President of the United States who bears responsibility for the negative consequences resulting therefrom. Despite the integral role Rice played in the Benghazi fiasco, and subsequent cover-up, Obama appointed her as national security advisor, an appointment that did not require congressional approval. Obama had originally wanted her to succeed Hillary Clinton but Rice had enough common sense to subsequently remove her name from contention, sparing the administration additional embarrassing scrutiny.

Hagel describes how he clashed with the administration on matters ranging from Ukraine to Syria to Guantanamo. On Syria, Hagel had drafted a comprehensive military plan in response to Assad’s employment of chemical weapons against his own citizens in 2013, only to be told by Obama to stand down. Hagel believed that that decision hurt America’s credibility, especially since Obama publicly stated that usage of chemical weapons by Assad would represent a red line that, if crossed, would prompt a U.S. military response.

Flakey Hortysir, I am republican, and I don't care if that disturbs. We in the mainstream are simply not going to allow the far right to force Trump on the other 85% of America. Not going to happen.
 
Obama's ego does not allow him to take blame for anything, but at the same time it demands he take credit for everything good.

I think this is a common trait...nay, a required trait, of all Presidents. I don't think you can become President without a massive ego.

If you prick a President's ego, you will see some serious anger. I've seen it happen with Obama during interviews a zillion times. He even got pissed off with a friendly reporter in an interview I listened to this morning. Obama's nerves are thin now. Really, really thin. He's incredibly defensive these days.

If Obama took the advice of his military, and as a result takes credit for the death of Osama bin Laden, he has to take the blame for Bergdahl. There is no difference. As Bush said, "I'm the Decider". And that comes with its ups and downs.
 
Yup, BHO is responsible for both.

Bringing Bergdahl, regardess of the fall out, was the right thing,

While I agree with you on that, I see this from a completely different light. Bergdahl is an American and deserves the right to be tried so that he can defend himself. Let the chips fall where they may, but he is still an American and bringing him home was the right thing to do.

I agree he should be tried if he deserted. However, he was traded for five detainees.
