Sorry.

Says a lot about those who are upset.

It doesn't matter anyway. Change won't come until the people stand up en masse and say "no more".

it wasn't going to be Rice or Kerry, who both rank above Hagel and are Democrats. Obama thinks he will get applause for this move, and he probably will by the Washington Post, but I'm not applauding it. At all. (and no, I don't think it had to do with hawkishness--I think it had to do with politics)

and he doesn't fire people over his ego. so I call bullshit.

Until the Left tried to make him do stuff, of course.

Philosophically speaking, anyway.

of the wrong people in Syria. But I'm just guessing.

ISIS should never have happened. Where is it getting its financial support? Why haven't we successfully separated ISIS from its logistics, supply routes?

Who were we dealing with, supporting in Syria?

And why was our strategy in Afghanistan so confused and unsuccessful?

Hagel Is out because white house felt he wasn't the right person for ongoing war.Hagel was picked to manage drawdown of wars.

or is this just pure speculation on your part?

The GOP has been nagging Obama to take out Assad and Rouhani since forever and now with the senate behind them they're nagging even harder.

I totally believed the scenario that Obama and Hagel presented.

Then suddenly all the news networks told me that both were lying.

Geesh. No wonder I'm confused.
