Either way, Hagel is no victim and is no conservative.

Agreed he is no conservative but he is not a leftist fascist, either.

Zerohissef has fired general after general: the military is weakened in lost culture and history alone, not to mention its readiness. Instead he elevates a cadre of Praetorian who will follow HIS orders.

He now has 2 cabinet positions he can fill with leftist fascists and can continue to destroy us at a faster rate than previously: he only has 2 more years to cause the most irreparable harm. He will be aided and abetted by his cabinet with no one to even mildly question his actions.

Were I detached an uninterested bystander, he is diabolically Machieavellian. But as someone who cares about what this country is and represents, I am quivering with rage and anger.

“Is Hagel’s resignation a first sign of the administration’s implosion?”

I don’t think so. I think Obama is just done with the political game. Therefore, he doesn’t need a “republican” in his administration anymore.

I believe you have it right! Hagel was not doing exactly as Obama wants. Here is a view from my friend Bev, and I agree with her totally!!
*******************

Hagel just isn't releasing the terrorists fast enough for Obama!!!

http://www.news.yahoo.com/obama-goal-gitmo-closure-stalled-pentagon-070252607—politics.html;_ylt=AwrBT9UkCUhUNEAA.hdXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTExcTdidDdsBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkA1VJQzFfMQ

“My name goes on that document , that's a big responsibility,” Hagel said earlier this year. “I'm taking my time. I owe that to the American people, I owe that to the President.”

No Secretary Hagel, you got that last part wrong. Obama expected you to do what HE ordered and that is to release those 79 terrorists HE cleared for transfer, and do it quickly! How dare you take your time on HIS order!!!

Folks, there are now 143 terrorists left in Gitmo. That means the new Defense Secretary must release 72 terrorists once he is appointed.

Seems the one question that should be asked of the nominee is “Are you going to sign off on the release of those 72 terrorists Obama has cleared for transfer?”

I truly believe Obama wants the Gitmo detainees here on this soil, preferably at Thomson Prison, and once there are less than 100 terrorists left in Gitmo, he plans to move them here. They have hired a warden at Thomson and they are currently beefing up the security perimeter there. I know, I know, he isn't allowed to bring the terrorists here.

Well, Obama wasn't allowed to trade terrorists and he did that. AND, as the President of the United States, he is suppose to uphold the Constitution and he just defied the Constitution with his latest move on immigration.

We have lost so many of America's Sons and Daughters in this war and it will be an absolute slap in the face of their most noble sacrifice to bring any terrorists here. Our Troops fight and risk their lives, and so many have given their precious lives, to keep the terrorists away from us!! It will be the absolute epitome of disgrace to their sacrifice if any of the remaining terrorists end up here!

Not to mention, we continue to keep our Sons locked up in Leavenworth as the worst of the worst terrorists are released! I knew the gravity of their resolve to empty Gitmo when the legislative director for Congresswoman Edwards, Chris Schlosser, told me and Sgt Miller's mother in a meeting last April: “But We're Trying To Close Gitmo!!!” He said that sternly and boldly as an answer to my question to him, “What do you have to say to this mother whose son continues to sit in Leavenworth as your guy in the White House just released 5 of the worst terrorists?”

We have paid a Heavy price for the re-election of Obama. Obama and the Dems counted on those “purists” Conservatives who refused to vote for Romney, and in doing so, helped re-elect Obama. Now Obama and the Dems are counting on those folks again to disrupt and help divide our party.

I'll say it again, we all better stick together to fight the progressive left! Like Andrew Breitbart said, “you're either with us or you're on the other side!”
As we move forward, I believe UNITY is the only way we win! Stick together, like the Dems do, no matter what! Or play right into the hands of the Democrats and suffer even more horrendous consequences!

“I’m sure he can dish out a lot of dirt.”

I don’t think so. Betting Obama and his tools have kept Hagel at an arms length and there is no way he has been privy to any information that can damage Obama. There are only a handful who know the true Obama agenda and their loyalty is not because of Obama but the agenda, which is to compromise America.

They are calling it a “firing” not a resignation.

Hagel knew the end was near when he balked on Obama’s demand for mandatory hands-on homosexual training in boot camp.

Today's firing is consistent with his illegal illegal executive "actions" last week. All part of negating the new GOP majority and forever making that party un-relevant.

This firing is a sacrificial lamb so that Obama can make a really distasteful appointment and pick a fight with the new GOP senate over who has the power to confirm an appointment.

Count on it.

I beg to differ. I met and talked with Hagel just prior to his first election as Senator from Nebraska. I was not impressed and he blatantly lied about his views on several issues in order to be elected. I don’t believe he has any real feeling for the military personnel he purports to support. I spent a career as both an enlisted Marine and an AF officer and his support for the troops and the missions has been slim and self serving. He has given indications that he has passing concern for the enlisted troops, but only the lower ranks he feels are being screwed over; none for more senior NCOs and none for the officer ranks at all. Hagel was SecDef because is a compliant uber-RINO who is against any military involvement anywhere. He has taken the lead for the kenyan in gutting the military and pushing all of obama’s “reforms” of the military. He is no patriot, he is self-serving, period. He is a leftist.

Implosion will be when Jarrett resigns.

JV is junior varsity, the next to best “B” team.

The JV comment was like when the score of a pro football game is very lopsided, and the winning team plays its backup players and rests the starters.

Looks to me like its a continuation of replacing anyone with questionable loyalty to Zerohissef

True, but I think it's Valeri Jarrett, not the empty suit.
