This morning The World’s Most
Dangerous Community Organizer stood at the podium in the White House State
Dining Room to announce the departure resignation firing of his scapegoat
third Secretary of Defense.
The president oozed
phony platitudes:
“Last month, Chuck came to me to discuss the final quarter of my presidency and determined that having guided the department through this transition, it was an appropriate time for him to complete his service.”
“Let me just say that Chuck is and has been a great friend of mine. I’ve known him, admired him and trusted him for nearly a decade since I was a green-behind-the-ears freshman senator and we were both on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.”
“If there’s one thing I know about Chuck, it’s that he does not make this or any decision lightly. This decision does not come easily to him, but I consider myself extraordinarily lucky to have had him by my side for two years.”
“And I am grateful that Chuck has agreed to stay on until I nominate a successor and that successor is confirmed by the Senate, which means that he’ll continue to guide our troops at this challenging time.”
I never agreed with Hagel’s
appointment to that post. During his confirmation hearing he was ripped for his
inflammatory remarks about Israel and the “Jewish lobby”, his support for
unilateral reductions of U.S. nuclear weapons and his opposition to the surge
in Iraq.
Secretary Hagel’s undoing was
when he contradicted the regime’s talking points on Islamist militants in Iraq
and Syria and the leaked letter he sent to National Security Advisor Susan Rice
in which he asserted that Syria’s dictator, Bashar al-Assad, was “indirectly
benefitting” from an impotent U.S. policy against ISIS.
Only difference between what WH aides are now saying about Hagel and what GOP said at his hearing is WH aides are talking anonymously.

As with OCare, the IRS, Benghazi, and Obama in general -- Hagel vindicates conservatives and proves the media subservient lapdogs.
