		<description><![CDATA[What a crazy mishmash of ideas in this column. Robert Spencer ranges from budget cuts to Pres. Basher al-Assad as if they&#039;re synonymous in the types of dangers they represent. He also fails to appreciate the point behind Sec. of Defense Hagel&#039;s statement that: “The main responsibility of any leader is to prepare your institution for the future. If you don’t do that, you’ve failed. I don’t care how good you are, how smart you are, any part of your job. If you don’t prepare your institution, you’ve failed.” To try to invert that statement and claim that Sec. Hagel was aiming that statement at Pres. Obama rather than at each and every Secretary of Defense is disingenuous in the extreme.

As for Pres. Obama &quot;peer(ing) at his gaggle of sycophants and choos(ing) one of them for a big promotion,&quot; NONE of Pres. Obama&#039;s Secretaries of Defense have been unfamiliar with the military nor the military role in American foreign policy. Here&#039;s a short list for the most likely candidates to succeed Sec. Hagel:  (From the NY Times) &quot;Even before Mr. Obama appeared with Mr. Hagel at the White House to announce the Pentagon chief’s departure, officials inside and outside the administration were speculating that Michèle A. Flournoy, a former under secretary of defense who would be the first woman to head the Pentagon, and Ashton B. Carter, a former deputy secretary of defense, would be top candidates for the job.

Both are seasoned national security professionals whose credibility among members of both parties and Defense Department experience would be considered assets in managing the threat from the Islamic State, budget cuts and other challenges.

“If what they’re looking for is someone to help them figure out strategic approaches to the biggest challenges we face, that sounds like the slate that they’ve put together,” said Kathleen H. Hicks, the director of the International Security program at the policy group CSIS, who until last year was a senior Defense Department official. “If they’re looking for someone who keeps the Defense Department out of their hair, I don’t think they’ve stumbled upon that person with this list.”Photo

Mr. Hagel — a Republican, former senator from Nebraska and Vietnam veteran — was seen as a Pentagon outsider who was steeped in politics and whose personal friendship with Mr. Obama and opposition to the Iraq war helped him land the top Defense Department post last year.

Ms. Flournoy, 53, and Mr. Carter, 60, have “grown up in the Pentagon and have great institutional support from inside,” said Roger Zakheim, the former general counsel and deputy staff director of the House Armed Services Committee. Mr. Obama and his team “need somebody who can really push what essentially is re-engagement in the Middle East as well as maintain the fight in Afghanistan and handle sequestration.”
_________________________________________________________________________

This was a post I directed at Daniel Greenfield but since many of the same concerns can certainly be aimed at the misdirected, miscalculated criticism coming from Robert Spencer, I&#039;ll repost it here.


You&#039;re actually hawking in (Daniel Greenfield&#039;s) blog post that the ROOT ISSUE behind the request for his resignation is Sec. of Defense Hagel taking issue w/Pres. Obama (supposedly) closing Guantanamo and repatriating FOUR AFGHAN Gitmo detainees who may yet prove exceedingly dangerous to the U.S. (Just FYI, but releasing FOUR DETAINEES doesn&#039;t equate w/&quot;closing Gitmo.&quot;) In the meantime, you&#039;re actually trying to make the case in this very same blog post that Sec/Def Hagel is &quot;too hawkish&quot; for Pres. Obama because Hagel recognizes the U.S. must figure out how the U.S. can deal with Pres. Bashar al-Assad and his forces. (Can the civil war against Pres. Assad&#039;s regime and Pres. Assad&#039;s repudiation by his people be salvaged and his Presidency and his political faction saved and used against the myriad Islamist factions arrayed against Assad?) Meanwhile, in yet another recent post you&#039;ve made the claim that there was GUN-RUNNING TO SYRIAN REBELS and SYRIAN AL QAEDA FACTIONS under the guidance of Ambassador Stevens because the U.S. is desperate to find Syrians willing to fight against the Islamic State fighters? You don&#039;t understand how mutually incompatible all those wannabe story lines are? 

Yet you included this sentence in your blog post so you&#039;re aware of this: &quot;White House officials also expressed annoyance over a sharply critical two-page memo that Mr. Hagel sent to Ms. Rice last month, in which he warned that the administration’s Syria policy was in danger of unraveling because of its failure to clarify its intentions toward President Bashar al-Assad.&quot;

Please, tell me you&#039;re not so partisan as to fail to understand what a HUGE ELEMENT Pres. Assad and the future of his Syrian faction may yet play in figuring out what the U.S. is ultimately intending to do in Syria as far as identifying potentially staunch political and ideological allies within the Syrian populace?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Benedict Arnold was at the time a somewhat embittered multiply wounded war hero, one of the only victorious American generals early in the war. SO at least he had that going for him, unlike Dear Leader who thinks a Navy Corpsman is a corpse-man. Several times, until corrected. 


Arnold was commandant of the key Hudson River fort at West Point, the key to defending New York from British attack. Arnold&#039;s treason was going to be to sabotage the defenses (bring in the chain for &quot;repairs&quot; and sabotage it, move cannon away for &quot;drills). 


Obama is much, much worse. On every level, he is sabotaging our defenses. The open border and &quot;come on in!&quot; policy. All but supplying ISIS, by sending advanced ordnance to the FSA, thence to Al Nusra and ISIS. Iran. Purges at the military flag ranks. It doesn&#039;t end. 


Obama is the worst traitor mole in history. Nobody comes close. Kim Philby was a head of British intelligence for a period in the Cold War. Obama is POTUS. He can do anything. God help us.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[benedict arnold was a decorated hero in the frech/indian war.. He betrayed his fellow soldiers (just like a**hole Kerry) and the ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence, that he lied about believing in, for money and the promise of power.
Sound familiar?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was shocked to learn today that under Obama, the total White House national security staff has ballooned from under 50 to 400! Instead of coordinating policy with the DOD, DNI, DHS etc, they are running policy from the WH, and simply passing orders down to them. Hagel had fewer visits to the White House than Gruber. He was locked out of the decision-making process, basically occupying an office in the Pentagon where the phone seldom rang. I think he got tired of being played for a dupe or a stooge, and when he had a chance, spoke out against the ISIS threat realistically, and that was enough to have him fired shortly after. You just do NOT go off of Team Obama&#039;s message!]]></description>
