Who May Replace Hagel?

[longknife]

This is an interesting piece with much supposition about who his successor will be.

And of course, one is a woman – white as the biggest surprise. Michèle Angelique Flournoy is a Harvard grad – no surprise – and, most amazing of all, she's the wife of a retired Navy captain. She's a Clinton appointee which might give her demerits with the White House insiders.

One thing is certain: Obama's choice will more affected by race/gender politics than by professional capability.

Obabble/Rice/Jarrett...Los tres Negritos....in charge of your security. No wonder you don't sleep at night.

She's an European policy specialist.

He's a systems guy.

Both have done some work in proliferation.

Both members for the Aspen Study Group..besides DOD..

Qualified place holders, who will have to rely on Operations Specialists...

With this administration does it really matter? It seems unless the person taking the spot is a yes man or woman they won't have much if any of a say in things.

It won't be good I can promise you that.

Like Hagel's appointment was, right? Right? Right?

 

[longknife]

Just heard on Fox News that she's asked to be taken out of consideration. That, to me, means she just might be best qualified for the job.

 

[Seawytch]

Will it matter who he nominates if the GOP has promised not to confirm anyone he does nominate?

 

[Katzndogz]

Hagel was unqualified, but he made a serious mistake. He began to understand just how unqualified he was and started listening to the qualified generals. Then he had to go. Whoever replaces him will be even more unqualified but won't listen to those who know better.

Your speech impediment is duly noted. Since Hagel's professional capability was zero, I guess it was a tie.

Flournoy took herself out of consideration. She would have been a good choice.
Wth the stink of failure all over this administration no one wants this job for 2 years only. He will end up either promiting the current assistent secretary, not a bad move, or bring in some no name chosen on the basis of personal loyalty. Maybe Valerie Jarrett.

 

[tinydancer]

There's another person in the mix. Damn I can't remember his name. But apparently between Rice and this gentleman poor Hagel and others are working for insane micro managers who don't have a clue what they are doing with foreign policy.

What a dog's breakfast this administration is.

I would say it's the dog's breakfast about 6 hours after the dog ate it.

Just find out what Democrat stalwart has been most recently fingered for tax evasion and you'll have your answer.

A former defense department official told Politico that Flourney - a leading contender removed herself from consideration because she didn't "want to be a doormat" in an administration that likes its failed foreign policy and is keeping it.

Hagel may be around longer than Hagel himself or the president wants.

Obama and his minions will find a way to blame the Republicans.
