President Obama is considering asking Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) to serve as his next defense secretary, part of an extensive rearrangement of his national security team that will include a permanent replacement for former CIA director David H. Petraeus.
Although Kerry is thought to covet the job of secretary of state, senior administration officials familiar with the transition planning said that nomination will almost certainly go to Susan E. Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
John O. Brennan, Obama’s chief counterterrorism adviser, is a leading contender for the CIA job if he wants it, officials said. If Brennan goes ahead with his plan to leave government, Michael J.

Lord have mercy.
No way No how...
Absolutely NOT!!
Kerry has done NOTHING in the senate for 20+, he was a coward in the Navy and was dishonorabvly dsicahrged beforwe he was honoeably discharged (by none other than Jimmuh Cahteh).
If zero pursues this, it should be MORE than enough cause for the military (and patriotic Americans) to rise up in revolt!!’No, No, No, a 1,000,000 times NO!!!!!
Pretends to be wounded warrior to get Purple Hearts and early-out - check
First question at the confirmation hearing:
"Why the long face, John?"
Maybe a Rino former Governer?
John Kerry is linked to Jill Kelly’s sister.
She was visiting a big democratic event and Kerry very much liked her 4 year old son. (seriously!)
...who served in Vietnam.
And became a America-hating supporter of pro-communist forces.
Anyway, no surprise. He would be working for an America-hating supporter of the ideology that hates us and everything good in the world.
John Kerry actually ran for president! That was the democrat party’s second attempt to give us a marxist president. The first was jimmy carter, and it succeeded. Their third attempt also succeeded.
If Barky does this, it will be one of the biggest middle fingers he’s ever given to America.
” I don’t know if anybody knows this, but john kerry did serve in Vietnam.”
It was my understanding that he vacationed there for a few months.
Picked up some trinkets and a paper cut and came home.
Bureau of Indian Affairs? Secretary of the Inferior?
Oh God no!
I would rather them dig up Les Aspin’s rotted corpse and name him SecDef again than see that admitted war criminal become SecDef.
We don’t need Scott Brown. He’s a traitor.
Didn’t J F’n Kerry testify against his Brothers-in-Arms at the Paris Peace Talks? This is an OUTRAGE!
“I don’t know if anybody knows this, but John Kerry did serve in Vietnam, by the way.”.....
Yes, he was the guy who threw a gernade (just for fun) and wound up getting a shrapnel wound and ultimately the purple heart. Some great “Defense Secretary” he would make....(sarc)
I did not know that. Hey did you know John Kerry served in Vietnam?
