I find it interesting that Reid is delaying his attack on the anti-filibuster change to Senate rules until after these nominations.

I wouldn't be surprised to find that Obama was picking these provocative nominees for just that purpose, i.e., to provoke. He and Reid are coordinating to bait the GOP into contesting his nominees so that Reid can 'solve' the 'crisis' by blowing up the current filibuster process.

Yep. The kenyan is trying to pick a fight here. I don’t see the need to give him what he wants in this case.

Who the SecDef is really doesn’t matter in the big picture with the marxists calling the shots in the WH. Hagel is just another stooge who will do whatever he is told to do.
