Democrat Leon Panetta finally quit and told the truth; so did Robert Gates. Now Chuck Hagel. NONE of these guys want to be a part of the legacy that Obama will leave behind. I'm sure they've all had it with his bad decisions and "my way or the highway" attitude that has brought us where we are today....with the Middle East in worst turmoil than before, terrorists groups stronger than ever, and racial division in our own country worse than before he came in. Yeah, I can understand why they've left this guy....
Sigh! You do know that a moderator is going to lock out this OP due to no presentation of a link, yes? Nonetheless I'll venture a thoughtful comment anyway . . . "Yay!" Hagel had no business as a Republican going to work for this ideologically straight-jacketed permanent amateur-hour-status president. I hope that his ouster by Obama also marks the effective end of the RINO's political career. Obama is tossing the RINO under the bus. Gasp! What a shocker! Meh . . . so what idiot will next get presented with the not-plum-job (under THIS president anyway) of Secretary of Defense?
We don't know why Obama fired Hagel so we are only speculating. My guess is that Hagel wanted to change the battle strategy and Obama refused to listen.
Which may beg the question.Does Obama use people for whatever credibility they can muster.No finer example than General Petraeus.Here was arguably the finest example of American War Hero in the last decade and Obama spends him { uses him up }. Took a highly respected and hard as nails General and somehow conned him into going into the CIA. Then Framed him { Had Holder Leak to a usual suspect in the Media } about Adultery.Obama knew all about Petraeus Love affair even before he appointed the general to CIA head.Then when the Benghazi heat was going Rogue,and Petraeus could easily have spilled the beans ,he gets shamed.Probably what happened to Hagel.They dug up dirt on the guy and said,either you appear with Obama in the Rose garden and ACT like you respect Obama for Firing you or else.They'll unleash the Obama Smear Squad. That is the bottom line in how Obama wins his Elections. he smears any and all opponents.The Chicago way.
Obama:"We fired some folks" http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-...-discusses-chuck-hagels-resignation-live-feed Under the bus Chuckie"
He has been asked to resign because he's not a team player. He speaks out and doesn't kiss Obama's bootie. He will probably be replaced by a disabled, black female transgender gay person.
