House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) said the Obama administration could be pushing Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel as the "fall guy" for the controversial prisoner swap that freed Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl after five years in Taliban captivity.
Administration briefers told his committee that Hagel was ultimately the one who decided to execute the swap, McKeon told Fox News on Tuesday.
"It sounded like it was a presidential program all the way, [but] now that there's been a little pushback yesterday in our briefing, the briefers from the various departments were asked who made the final decision, and they said Secretary Hagel," McKeon said. "So I hope they're not just pushing him out to be a fall guy for this."

The Blood is already on obama hands. It is on tape. obama needs prison.
They can always go down to skid row and find another drunk to do that job. Or maybe it’s time for the first gay defense secretary?
If shifting blame to Hagel, whether warranted or not, gets him out of there, then that's OK by me.
That's what bad children do.
I think Obama is now on his 27th version of "what really happened".
Whatever happened to “The Buck Stops Here?” Obama never knows anything until he sees it on the news like we do, and he’s never responsible.
Stick’m wid a fork. The rino’s done.
That’s what the 0bama WH is good for. When things don’t go according to plan, blame someone else. When it is going to plan, take the credit.
Hagel flat out stated that Obama made the decision. Its on the net. Its in print, its on video. Its on FREE REPUBLIC
“Defense officials say that Hagel’s comments on NBC’s “Meet the Press” immediately following the release speak for themselves.
“I signed off on the decision,” Hagel said in that interview. “The president made the ultimate decision.” ....
it doesnt GET any more clear cut than that!
Poor dumb Chuck - can’t help but feel a little sympathy here, but he doesn’t deserve it. Dogs, fleas, all that. But he even looks like a fall guy out of central casting.
Obama is such a cowardly puss.
“I signed off on the decision. The president made the ultimate decision” Hagel said.

Obama made the decision. He PERSONALLY negotiated the deal with Qatar, perhaps more.

The main qualification for everyone in the Obama cabinet is
thatthey would fall on their own sword for Obama. No other ability is required, thuse we have a series of otherwise unqualified idiots running the US government’s executive branch. This includes Chuck Hagel.
Cabinet meetings must feel like circular firing squads.
Remember when the dems went berserk over the August 6, 2001, presidential daily briefing entitled ‘Bin Laden determined to strike in US’
Are you kidding me? Sources have just indicated that Obama only just now found out Chuck Hagel was the Secretary of Defense while watching CNN.
“I signed off on the decision,” Hagel said in that interview. “The president made the ultimate decision.” .
Old army saying....SH!T flows downhill.
HEY! I just read it in the news like u did!...of course I'm pissed!...lol...MSM gets praised and Bronko can do 10 “I'm pissed” interviews...
