Jet-lagged from a long overseas trip, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel had just sat down with his wife for a quiet dinner at an upscale Italian restaurant in northern Virginia when his phone rang. It was the White House on the line. President Barack Obama wanted to speak with him.
It was Aug. 30, 2013, and the U.S. military was poised for war. Obama had publicly warned Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad that his regime would face consequences if it crossed a âred lineâ by employing chemical weapons against its own people. Assad did it anyway, and Hagel had spent the day approving final plans for a barrage of Tomahawk cruise missile strikes against Damascus. U.S. naval destroyers were in the Mediterranean, awaiting orders to fire.

What did he expect when he got in bed with Obama and company?
Lay down with dogs...
Good!
And you deserve it, pogue!
Plenty of evidence even in open source that Assad did not employ those CW weapons
It was a false flag to draw the US into bombing Damascus
Even the UN inspection hinted at this
Hagel was saved from his own president by the Russians
Can’t use this link without joining. Can the whole article be posted?
Hagel previously hinted that the know-nothing imbecile on the Ntl Security Council.....”brilliant strategist” Susan Rice..... is the one who did him in.
So they say. I wouldn't be surprised to hear they were planted there by the Saudis, Turks or someone.
I’m sure the lesser evils you champion will get right on that. No matter what. Afterall, after funding EVERYTHING Barry asked for they are bored and are surely willing to hold feet to the fire.
Notice top dog advisor the "brilliant" Susan Rice taking notes---planning to make a video starring the State Depts glittering jewel of colossal ignorance---marie harf---offering jobs to terrorists.
yeah, well, you lie down with dogs there Chuckie boy...
Doesn’t take much to destroy a retarded housefly.
If Hagel had wanted to redeem himself before stepping down from SecDef, he would have directed troops to descend upon the White House, arrest that Kenyan fraud and his entire cadre of traitors and sycophants.
The WH ding-a-ling shows his true intentions in the last days (hopefully) of his failed presidency.
EVEN MORE BELIEVABLE the ding-a-ling demands compassion for Syrian refugees....but his Heart of Gold has a more lucrative tinge. Sucking up to refugees is a Gimme-The-Money scheme. 75% of US planes return without dropping their ordinance? 45 minute advance warnings to targets? refusing to bomb the oilfields funding ISIS? phony "limited" ground incursions?
All of it is going to be used to enrich him and the missus.
===========================================
The failed Libya incursion, etc, and Obama's failure to utter a discouraging word about Christian slaughter by Muslims are multi-layered facets of the obamas get-rich-quick schemes. That's the way the cunning Clintons got-rich- quick....looking the other away at human rights abuses....just as long as the wealthy abusers ponied up big bucks.
Obama's using the presidency as a cash cow......just as Hillary used the State Dept as a cash cow to enrich her family members and all of the Clinton factotums, their cronies, and donors made out like thieves.
The Clintons soak up humongous foundations donations, pocket huge honoraria and collect enormous paychecks from insider business deals involving armaments, oil, telecoms, mining, uranium deposits, etc etc etc.

All by design!
Absolutely, Obama and his voters are a threat to our national security.
It’s yet more comfirmation that policy is very tightly developed, controlled and managed from the White House (the National Security Advisor could otherwise be called a policy czar) with the Departments left to just implement, and to do so under severe oversight.
I’ve felt from the start that Obama’s emphasis on the policy czars was just a way of masking the radicalism being developed for implementation through the departments. Think Van Jones, for instance.
They’ve effectively blurred the lines between policy advice and development. Should be subject to Senate confirmation and Congressional oversight.
