President Obama is considering asking Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) to serve as his next defense secretary, part of an extensive rearrangement of his national security team that will include a permanent replacement for former CIA director David H. Petraeus.
Although Kerry is thought to covet the job of secretary of state, senior administration officials familiar with transition planning said that nomination will almost certainly go to Susan E. Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
John O. Brennan, Obama’s chief counterterrorism adviser, is a leading contender for the CIA job if he wants it, officials said. If Brennan goes ahead with his plan to leave government, Michael J. Morell, the agency’s acting director, is the prohibitive favorite to take over permanently. Officials cautioned that the White House discussions are still in the early phases and that no decisions have been made.
Petraeus’s resignation last week after revelations of an extramarital affair have complicated what was already an intricate puzzle to reassemble the administration’s national security and diplomatic pieces for Obama’s second term.

Oh Hell Yeah, John Kerry is an Ol’ Time Traitor/Commie-Pinko sympathizer compared to ‘Bammy.
He should be an infusion of ‘death warmed over’ to our active duty troops in the field.
[Hey, when did ETL get banned?]
“How disheartening for our troops to have to serve under a traitor.
Heavy load to bear.”
All part of the plan to destroy the military.
Fill the ranks with queers, cashier any flag officers who don’t toe the party line cheerfully and then put Benedict Arnold Kerry in as SecDef.
Does any one still have any doubts that Obama is trying to destroy the US?
We have to understand, this appointment would give Asia a seat inside to every action and every plan. It is a way for every country to be equal, in every way. Equal information flows, equal disinformation flows, equal in any and every way one can add to the sentence. It has been a long time coming. It will hasten to a point of long time gone.
Where’s Leon Panetta going?
John F’ing Kerry as Secretary of Defense.
Proof that Obama is a Mancunian Candidate out to cause an epic failure of our military.
They are probably planning to lose the war with Iran right now.
make that Manchurian Candidate
Just in time for the upcoming anniversary of Christmas in Cambodia.
