Hagel Takes a Bullet for Obama

Obama just can't keep quality help. Anyone with integrity leaves the 3-ring administration ASAP.

======================

The Secretary of Defense is stepping down after less than two lackluster years inside the Pentagon walls and disastrous developments around the world.

From practically the day he took office as the 24th Secretary of Defense less than two years ago, Chuck Hagel was a marked man. After one of the more brutal confirmation hearings of a senior Cabinet official in recent memory—Hagel had to apologize for saying a “Jewish lobby” in the U.S. exercised political influence by intimidation, and he erroneously described the Obama administration’s Iran policy as “containment”—Washington was filled with whispers that Hagel wasn’t up to the job and wasn’t long for it, either.

Media Goes Wild Over Hagel Firing But Not Obama's Secret Afghanistan Reversal

There's little the Washington-centric political-media universe loves more than the story of a fallen star. The defenestration of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has reporters and pundits in a schadenfreude-driven tizzy. Was he fired? Was he in over his head? OMG, look at how the White House is dumping on him, as he departs! Who's passing nasty notes in class about him?

The presumably forced resignation of Hagel is indeed big news. The Obama administration is confronting a host of new national security challenges: ISIS, Ukraine, Ebola. So the guy (or gal) in charge of the Pentagon has to be nimble and able to handle this expanding and shifting to-do list. And Hagel, ever since his underwhelming performance at his confirmation hearing, has not been (at least in public) a confidence-inspiring Cabinet member. So perhaps President Barack Obama can do better—though the elbowing Hagel is receiving on the way out seems poor manners.

Think it's just a 'wartime consigliere' thing. Hagel was the choice before President Obama realized he wasn't in charge of waging or ending wars. So now he realizes he needs a wartime consigliere instead.

Maybe he can get General David Petraeus back

I think the next Sec of Defense will be an anti-gun activist who wants to turn the military into a Muslim outreach program.

It's amazing to see all these people who hated Hagel when he was nominated falling in love with him now.

Hagel was a joke as a senator and as sod...Obama continues to be a very bad joke.

Hagel was the "quality help"? We're in worse trouble than I thought!

Never mind that no secretary is in it for the duration. That's not the way it has ever worked but of course, that fact is being ignored.

Except for Robert McNamara, Harold Brown and Dick Cheney but that fact is being ignored.

And more proof that the far left will do it can to ignore all of Obama's illegal wars..

This is Obama's third Sec of Defense in 6 years and he is going for number 4. That fact is being ignored.
