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.

Would that not be poetic justice. Kerry Secretary of Defense when they re-introduce the draft...
There is only one thing to say: FUBO!
Great screen name. Battle of Hastings, where we learned Harold had a real eye for arrows. :)
Wonder how many catch it.
She has punched her 'Foreign Affairs' ticket, now she distances herself from the Obadisaster as much as possible in order to retain any credibility she can for the run in '16.
Either that or she and the bent one have stashed enough of our money to get out while the getting is good.
Jonathan Pollard will be pardoned and then nominated as new CIA Director.
It’s too bad Jack Kevorkian’s dead. He would have made a hell of a Surgeon General now.
This is great. A traitor to the USA is being considered for defense secretary. What the hell is going on here?......oh, yeah,.....HELL.
Never mind....

Then Brown wins his seat back in a special election.
Defense Secretary for whom?
Vietnam?
Yeah I was being sarcastic but considering what a disaster this administration is nothing would surprise me anymore
Exactly how many clowns does this car hold?
It can't be the fault of the worst POS POTUS in history, it must be Romney's fault!
Simply a reward for the Winter Soldier’s stunning assistance preparing Berry for his first Presidential Debate. Apparently during the following debates Kerry figured out how to work the volume control on Berry’s ear piece.
So. Will he bring his drunk wife.
Why Kerry? Isn’t Jane fonda available?
Barney Fife would be awesome, compared to who is going to fill that spot, Kerry or not. He’s a patriot, nothing more to say about it.
At least Barney is a good man!
Excellent...I wish I had thought of that.
