McCain is the least popular senator in the United States.

Why is he always the senator cited by papers for the Republican point of view on foreign policy?

I guess he will soon be chairman of the armed services committee

Only January 20, 2016 will fix Obama’s foreign policy team.

McCain, for his part, told a radio interviewer that his friend Hagel “was never really brought into that real tight circle inside the White House that makes all the decisions which has put us into the incredible debacle that we’re in today throughout the world.”

Blind squirrel moment.

The problem here, aside from Obama himself, is that he has delegated his constitutional responsibility as Commander-in-Chief to McDonough and Rice, who are not elected to anything, and hold no constitutional authority within the chain of command. Gates and Panetta did not put up with their meddling, but Hagel rolled over for them.

And so here we are, with the world in flames because of their incompetence.

Who wants to be Defense Secretary when they are micromanaged?

Hagle and McCain have always had man-crushes on one another. I believe they tried to compete to see which could be the most ‘anti-republican’ to get in on all of the MSM talk shows, especially on Sunday mornings.

It will be a good day when both are gone from the political arena, and working for some K Street firm making a zillion dollars a year as lobbyists and on speaking engagements.

Obama and Valerie Jarret decide everything.
other people are just functionaries.
why is that so hard to understand?
