Hagel was used by the Obamanoids. The Kenyan beat him like a drum

Perhaps he doesn't want to completely burn his bridges with Obama just yet.

Bull. Democrats stick together through thick and thin, through lies and corruption.

Haggis does not want to burn Democrat bridges incase Hildebeast wins.

[digger48]

Hagel was one of the few people in DC who could make Biden look like the smart guy in the room

[jpl]

I could have told this putz what he was getting himself into way before he ever took the job. Clearly he’s not too bright.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Yup

Susan Rice is like Anita Hill before her.

A black woman got to Washington only to learn she was out of her depth, out of her league, unable to keep up with demands place upon her. Obama’s blackness in hiring is part of his undoing. They just aren’t up to snuff

AA for AA’s doesn’t always produce positive results

Color before capability!

I, for one, am sick of it.

As for Hagel thinking we needed to bomb Assad for the red line incident. He’s as big of an idiot as I thought he was. That was a rebel set up if I ever saw one.

Rebels ask for air support against Assad. Obama says only if he uses gas. A week later the rebels say “hey look, Assad gassed us”. Please. The gas attack was an Al Qeida operation plain and simple.
And the next week Assad gives all his chemical stockpile to Russia.

Hagel is an idiot. Always was, still is. And he waits two years to whine a little about Rice who everyone knows is a mouthbreathing idiot in way over her head.

The only word that comes to mind is “Perfidy”.

Ever notice how once these appointees leave office, they spill the beans and say how awful it was? OK, so they want to sell a book but the truth is, is that they are trying to distance themselves from the utter failure that is the Ovomit presidency.

So, thanks for contributing to the demise of US power, prestige and influence in the world and now you can run off and make money on the speaker's circuit.

Great summary of the First incompetent's mostly disastrous tenure.

Had he moved into the office and done NOTHING but play golf and pursue his"Movin' On Up approach to 'public service,' our Republic would be healthier in almost ever respect.

His fecklessness and incompetence (but I repeat myself,) is his only and permanent legacy.

[scooby321]

Didn't Hagel backed Obama against Mc Cain

I really don't give a shit what he says now.

If he had resigned at the point the country did nothing, maybe.

Go sell your book

I agree...I’ve always felt that the “rebels” gassed their own people in a “false flag” operation. And, as always, the Obama propagandists did all they could to disparage Assad, who has defended religious minorities (including Christians) in Syria — defended them against Obama’s & Hillary’s MURDEROUS good buddies there.

Affirmative Action in DC has been a fact of life in DC forever.
I visited DC many times both before and after Obungo, and the number of black privilege jobs (welfare on the sly) was evident everywhere, but restrained.

After Obungo moved in it had drifted, both in appearance and competence, into an almost totally African country, complete with administrative chaos and confusion. We can cover crime and its non disclosure, some other time, both in government and in the DC culture generally.

the obama administration is based on a couple of things.
facilitate the slide to communism
take down America as the world leader
subjugagte our nationto the UN and other world/global bodies
promote jiahd
facilitate racial unrest and redistribution thru “climate change” fraud
obama HATES America, the Constitution and has a vendeta and chip on his shoulder
he is juvenile and delusional, a red racist baby...
he is a traitor and deliberately reduces national security and supports the sworn enemy with recruitment, training, funding and weapons... perhaps indirectly via turkey, jordan and qatar... but does it with taxpayer money nevertheless.. that is treason, plain and simple... releasing enemy combatants who revert back to fighting the US is another treasonous act..
for whatever reason Congress ahs shirked its duty to impeach....
and republicans refuse to use their control and legislative power and the pwoer of the purse... i can only conclude they have been bought, are beiong blackmailed or have switched sides... the end result is the same... obama continues with his treasonous agenda.......

Whatevs, Chuck.

The image I remember the most from Hagel’s disastrous tenure as SecDef was right after he and Obama traded those five terrorists for the traitor Berghdal....he went to some military base as a photo op and tried to make it sound like great news....

“We got one of our own back this week,” he said, apparently expecting a cheer from the servicemen and women.

Instead, he got crickets. Everyone knew it was a stupid deal.

Ex-Defense Secy Hagel said Susan Rice 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 themselve.

Even more disturbing, Rice frequently subjected the Pentagon to unwarranted meddling. Dennis Ross noted that Susan Rice had needlessly exacerbated difficult situations and was largely responsible for increasing tensions with close allies....even the beleaguered Israel.

The execrable Rice had the effrontery to tell the beleaguered Israel they could not criticize John Kerry.

....the consensus is that Susan Rice is a flawed and incompetent diplomat.....

Susan Rice was hand-picked by Obama to augment her resume. He took the know-nothing to China and on other diplomatic romps to credential her for a future job after she leaves his employ.

Rice is way out of her depth, out of her league, chosen only b/c she's black...giving Obama the opportunity Obama to show his utter contempt for the diplomatic professionals in earlier admins.

==========================================

Interesting that a few weeks back, Josh Earnest forcefully told the media that Obama “didnt sign off on this." "This" was the drone attack that killed two---a doctor, an America hostage. There was a lot of talk by Earnest about ’s National Security Team assessing the “protocols” of this particular deadly drone attack.

Was that a hidden message? Was the Ntl Security imbecile who screwed-up the protocols that killed an American doctor...who signed off on the drone attack.....the resident WH moron Suzan Rice?

The Commemorative Susan Rice Video Room is on the lower level (/snix).

——chosen only b/c she’s black...——

Well, sheis female and there might be other ways a woman could come in handy on long trips away from home

but we won’t go there

[stephenjohnbanker]

Obama only hired flawed people.
