Coming up ... highlights of Hagel’s candid statements about the Obama Admin [Secretary of Defense]
Chuck Hagel Breaks His Silence-the Obama inner circle’s culture of deceit and delusion
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3375541/posts
[Some highlights ... I took out most of the stuff not related to Hagel revelations directly ...]
... Hagel did not spare the rod and had some choice words for the administration’s national security advisor, Susan Rice. He claimed that she frequently convened unproductive, long-winded meetings that went on for hours without accomplishing anything. Tough decisions were frequently put off (as if vexing national security issues affecting the nation would somehow resolve themselves).
Even more disturbing, Rice’s office would frequently subject the Pentagon to unwarranted meddling and micromanagement. Hagel, a Vietnam veteran, was likely cognizant of the Vietnam experience, when stiff-necked, professional pencil pushers tied the Pentagon’s hands with absurd rules of engagement and other forms of meddling, ensuring a prolonged, bloody conflict that would ultimately lead to defeat.
Some of Hagel’s criticisms have been echoed by various former high-level Pentagon officials including Leon Panetta, Martin Dempsey, and Michele Flournoy, lending credence to the notion that there is substance to Hagel’s allegations, and it’s not just another case of sour grapes. Moreover, former senior diplomat and special assistant to Obama, Dennis Ross, noted that Susan Rice had needlessly exacerbated difficult situations and was largely responsible for increasing tensions with close allies, such as Israel.
Despite the integral role Rice played in the Benghazi fiasco, and subsequent cover-up, Obama appointed her as national security advisor, an appointment that did not require congressional approval.
Hagel describes how he clashed with the administration on matters ranging from Ukraine to Syria to Guantanamo [aka Club Gitmo]. On Syria, Hagel had drafted a comprehensive military plan in response to Assad’s employment of chemical weapons against his own citizens in 2013, only to be told by Obama to stand down. Hagel believed that that decision hurt America’s credibility, especially since Obama publicly stated that usage of chemical weapons by Assad would represent a red line that, if crossed, would prompt a U.S. military response.
Under existing congressional legislation ... the Secretary of Defense is required to sign off on prisoner transfers. The Obama White House pressed Hagel to expedite the transfers but Hagel was more cautious, noting that he would ultimately bear responsibility if, at some later stage, those released terrorists took up arms against the U.S. This caused additional friction with the administration, ultimately leading to the demise of Hagel’s standing in the Obama White House.
Notwithstanding Obama’s legal limitations and requirement to consult with Congress before releasing Guantanamo detainees, the administration violated the law by releasing five Taliban/al-Qaida terrorists for confirmed deserter Bowe Bergdahl (who will now face a court martial) without timely notifying Congress.
Post 608 is, however, a political opportunity for Trump and Cruz.

The mind-blowing turnaround in Donald Trump’s poll numbers explains why he’s blowing everyone out of [the water]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3376107/posts
‘... In a July CNN poll, just 51% of Republicans viewed Trump favorably, compared with 40% who saw him in an unfavorable light. In December, 72% of registered Republicans say they view Trump favorably. That contrasts with just 27% who view him unfavorably... ‘

[It was within hours — Trump took his rage, channeled it, and projected it into anyone who was willing to take it to heart.]
After that, the Paris Attack and San Bernadino.
Conclusion: time is on the side of truth and common sense. Choose truth, choose common sense, and your efforts are amplified.
Also: Career republicans fear being accused of politicizing a tragedy. Trump was not burdened by that mindset — instead he ‘waved the bloody flag’. Politics 101.
If you are in synch with voters, you SHOULD wave the bloody flag.
