Remember, this is the same Hussein that blamed all of his foreign policy screwups (of which there were MANY) on SecDef Hagel, publicly fired him, and then told him he needs to stay on for another 6 months while they find his replacement. Bonus: little Timmy Hagel agreed. (Just as an aside here, what the heck was up with Hagel? He always looked half-drunk and a bit disheveled. He talked like it, too. I watched his confirmation hearings with my wife and I asked her at one point, “Did this guy show up drunk?”)
