Hagel: "President Obama made final decision on Bergdahl!"

Hagel will face the wrath of Obama. Obama isn't responsible for anything. Watch for Hagel getting in trouble.

 

[MrMike]

I still laugh at the reason (health) for hiding him in Germany. Hagel got his ass handed to him on that.

 

[Jen]

Yep, yep and yep.
Maybe Hagel won't go quietly.

They may have overestimated Hagel's desire to fall on his own sword. I mean - sooner or later someone was going to decide they didn't want to be the fall guy.

Hopefully it's just the first domino.

 

[Barbella]

Can't say I blame Hagel... I wouldn't want to be the patsy either...

 

[as seen on tv]

"success has a thousand fathers, failure is an orphan . . ." . . . ?

er, that hardly seems to apply here. why not blame biden? he's the most expendable part of the team.

nobody would ever believe Hagel is allowed to make any decisions anyway. all of Obama's direct reports are simply conduits for his decisions. they don't "advise", their role is to "consent"

That can't be true, because if it was, the buck would stop with Obama, and it never does. Ever. He's the original "Teflon Don".

I've been reading Charles Krauthammer in my newspaper once a week, for years now. Until the other day, I've never seen him give so much as an inch to Pres. Obama. Then the other day, he penned a piece calling bullshit on those who would make a partisan issue out of this one.

That told me lots.

 

[MrMike]

Link? I'd like to read his perspective on that.

Following this Admin is like watching a ping pong game.

Hagel may want to avoid Parks
he appears as dumb as Biden

Krauthammer is all over the "google", including links to his work. Have a look and you shall see.

 

[JuliefromOhio]

the 2 nitwit republicans quoted in that ABC report claiming that Hagel made the final call were lying OR the ABC reporters can't compose a sentence for shit.

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel – not President Obama – executed the administration’s final call to proceed with the prisoner exchange of five ranking Taliban detainees for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, administration officials told Congress today in a classified briefing today.

"the administrations final call"
who made the final call?
who executed the final call?

Your ineptitude is a riot:

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel – not President Obama – executed the administration’s final call to proceed with the prisoner exchange....​

Who, exactly, made the call?

Whoever made the call needs to have his butt in a vise.
