“the threat from the Islamic State would require a different kind of skills than those that Mr. Hagel was brought on to employ.” ....
In other words he, being ex-military, Hagel realized what it will take to eliminate ISIS. What oudmbo and his ilk have in mind will NOT work. (Beside, odumbo doesn’t have the taste for killing muslims, today or otherwise)
Hagel's "ex-military" does not involve the same kind of strategic thinking as, say, a retired full or Lt. General, FWIW.
However, Hagel's career as viable administrator is quite broad. But he is right, that ISIS is a nucleus to precipitate a broad Moslem attack on all Christian or post-Christian societies. We have our own inner enemy of a like nature, acting out in Ferguson now.
Question is: how do we handle the ominous reaction if we try to annihilate ISIS, to a man? (Which is really what is needed)
