Thread: NYT: Hagel Said to Be Stepping Down as Defense Chief Under Pressure

OK, so what's the real inside scoop? Disagreed with Valerie? Agreed with Bibi? Like Webb was, resisting cuts that are too deep? Clash with fellow Vietnam Vet John about Iran negotiations and their nuclear breakout soon? Why do we have to wait for the book? This is just bound to reassure the Baltics, Poland, Finland.....

For NOT following the Emperor's MANDATES, ask all of the Generals and Admirals that have been forced into retirement. BIG Government at it's best!

True Dat!!
I was never impressed by him anyway though!

After the NYT expose-ay detailing what a schmuck he is, a real failure, unable to meet the demands of the job, uncomfortable in the oval office, leaked by the oh so professional and high minded administration children, he's forced to stand beside the President this morning, listening to the words, knowing of the snickers. I'm afraid I could not have resisted the temptation to use the podium just now to turn to the President and say, "you're a f...g liar now just like on every other thing you talk on" and called for a taxi.

Now reported that another name has been added to the replacement consideration list. With two of the initial three having withdrawn their names, someone wanted more than one on the list so it's said that Colin Powell has been added. The last of the original three is now saying "what am I chopped liver?" but given Powell's original endorsement of Hagel Colin Powell: Chuck Hagel 'Superbly Qualified' To Be Defense Secretary (VIDEO) some insider probably thinks this would be just retribution for misleading The One.
