President Barack Obama convened top military leaders on Wednesday for an evening at the White House at a time of deep uncertainty for the Pentagon, where the defense secretary is on his way out and the military faces tough questions about its strategy in the Middle East.

Active Duty ping.

I’m surprised one of them didn’t pull out their .45 and shoot the bastard.

[DoughtyOne]

With what? Hasn’t he taken their ammo yet? LOL

these are extremely loyal, hand-picked sycophants

If you fired everyone in that room, America could win in Iraq/Afghanistan, stop Russian expansion and Red Chinese planned aggression, as well as that of No. Korea and Iran.

These men and women represent the “cowards of the country” in that they refused to stand up to Comrade Obama’s plans and actions that are endangering our national defense (aka treason), and have enabled our enemies to grow stronger and bolder without much opposition.

Put US field commanders in charge of the DOD and various Secretary positions, and let them plan our present and future needs based on reality/experience, pragmatism and common sense, none of which was in that room.

And bring in Col. Allan West to add some backbone to the whole shebang.

There are leaders and there are failed leaders, the latter being the attendees at that meeting. If we don’t get continued production of the A-10, more ships, more bombs, more tactical missiles, and better intelligence, then you know who to hold responsible - address: 1600 Penn. Ave, DC. and those who attended that meeting.

Will they be with him or against him when he makes his move

C-— Suckers, rump riders and assorted TG’s and Lezbos.

I have never heard of Ashton Carter and have no idea whether or not he's a suitable candidate for SECDEF.

That said, I believe the rails are being greased for another Obama apparatchik to be ensconced in a powerful Cabinet post. Yeah, I know - calling Captain Obvious

We need Patriots in charge of our military and National Security, not another faceless cypher.

The Republicans in this present Congress should use any means necessary, including every parliamentary trick known to Man, to prevent Hagel's successor from coming to a confirmation vote before the new Congress is seated.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

So true. So sad. Boomer's long knives have done their work. And the Disney Secret Service with the judicious use of hookers and alcohol.

[Jet Jaguar]

Agreed.

[txnativegop]

My concern is him trying to force some sort of absurd personal loyalty oath out of them. It is a stupid concept but Obama is that stupid.

Don’t you remember the Swear Allegiance to Obama thing ?

[drypowder]

They were all probably expecting to get fired

[txnativegop]

I only heard vague rumors about it but nothing substantial.

I am not surprised, Obama is shaping up to be worse than the worst leaders the 20th century had to offer.

“They were all probably expecting to get fired”

Or murdered.

[AFret.]

Colonel Claus Von Stauffenberg was not on the guest list...

[depressed in 06]

Checking which are fags.

“Pentagon Uncertainty” is lousy reporting.

What we have is:

“Leadership Vacuum as CIC undermines Defense”

[G Larry]

Ash Carter is the @$$hat who pretended to “reform DoD Acquisition”.

Nearly all of his initiatives have been overturned.

Did I mention that he’s also a Goldman Sachs alum?
