Obama removing DoD's Hagel

The Hill ^ | November 23, 2014 | Justin Sink

[Cheerio]

There have also been reports of high-profile clashes between Hagel and top White House officials, especially on ISIS policy.

That would be this person

[vladimir998]

Maybe as Hillary’s VP?

[mountn man]

I guess Hagel didn't understand the title.

He's part of the Department Of Defense
Not the Department Of Offense

[Vaduz]

The next couple of years will demand a different kind of focus.
Sounds like a warning more gutting?.

[dfwgator]

And line up a nice lobbying gig.

[dfwgator]

Probably will be a Muzzie, to complete the coup.

The proper exit for Secretary Hagel would be to reveal the Bowe Bergdahl findings that have been sequestered for so long. That would be going out on a high note!

I'm not going to be happy until I read a headline that says:

Bowbama Resigns!

[mountn man]

No. Obama issued an Executive Order that saying anything negative about him is a Death Penalty Felony.

Then he'd have to kill everyone in the world.

President Obama will announce the resignation of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Monday in the first high-profile personnel move since Democrats suffered significant losses in this month's midterm elections.

As if Hagel was the reason for these "significant midterm losses". They're removing the wrong cabinet member.

[PghBaldy]

Ok. Maybe instead it is related to the sudden departure of major defense contractor United Technologies’ CEO...

[GreensKeeperWillie]

Just watched Duck Soup. The parallels to this circus administration are striking and I am not joking. Chico as Chicolini, as Hagel, Secretary of War, Obama as Rufus T. Firefly and the main stream media played by Margaret Dumont, the quintessential straight man. Hail, hail Fredonia.....

[Cementjungle]

I guess Hagel didn't understand the title.

Hagel probably didn't understand that the Military's primary role is to protect the Commander in Chief, with their secondary role being the CIC's transportation service for fundraisers, vacations, golf outings and similar activities.

“Republican” Hagel just wanted to get a little distance between himself and Obama so he could get a high level job with the next “Republican” (RINO) president that he thinks is coming.

[Eva]

Hagel was picked because of his ties to the Iranian American lobby groups, who helped fund his campaigns. He was fired because talks failed with Iran. Hagel was there because Israel didn’t like him.

I’m betting, based on UpChuck’s history, that he didn’t want the kenyan to send more troops back into Iraq and Afghanistan.

He was a POS senator, a RINO of the worst kind, and deserves to be cashiered and made the scapegoat.

Nobody should kid themselves, UpChuck has had his sights set on a higher office for a while now and he will do and say whatever it takes to get what he wants.

Question: I know that Obama nominates the SOD, doesn’t the Congress have to vote on who becomes SOD?

[Nervous Tick]

Which Black guy will Obama name to the position?

One of these two black guys.

Or what the hell, maybe the black chick. At this point, as long as they're black, what does it really matter? There's nothing at stake really, except the defense of the American people.

[RJS1950]

You’re not kidding at all.
