The Trump administration has offered the job of White House national security adviser, vacated by former U.S. intelligence official Michael Flynn, to Vice Admiral Robert Harward, said two U.S. officials familiar with the matter on Wednesday.
It was not immediately clear if Harward, a former deputy commander of U.S. Central Command who has Navy SEAL combat experience, had accepted the offer, according to sources.
A White House spokesperson had no immediate comment.

Harward now works as an executive for defense contractor Lockheed Martin (LMT.N), with responsibility for its business in the United Arab Emirates in the Middle East
Wow!
A Navy SEAL in a Cabinet position.
Let’s hope he doesn’t break anything. :)
Sources???
Gee, remember the time when reporters VERIFIED their stories BEFORE publishing them ?????

I think the above is probably an accurate prediction. Entire video worth watching.

Ok... that’s it... string him up.

I don’t care about that but this guy grew up in Iran. He no doubt has a natural affinity for the place of his childhood. That’s the last type of person I want negotiating with the Iranians. Obama and Rhodes must be thrilled with this development.
Thanks for the ping. Seems like a SEAL would be a great choice.
a “yield” event
***
What does that term mean?
On the other hand, he knows how they think and remembers the country before the mullahs took over. Iran is a very different place inhabited by a very different people than the rest of the region. Far more dangerous because the people there are lights out brighter than any Arabs. But also a greater prize ... for much the same reason. Tehran and Jerusalem were the only capitals in the Middle East where candlelight vigils were held instead of street parties.
I’m glad to see Petraeus wasn’t offered the job. ;)
Don’t see the chemistry between him and President Trump. I hope Trump picks someone the left can’t stand.
