CNN - Politics: Reports " Hagel, who has served as Defense secretary since February 2013, was forced out by President Barack Obama, CNN confirmed from several sources. "
Lets Get Real:
It seems the Oval is getting the PR message through first, so Hagel was sacked, this of course will lead to an interesting confirmation hearing for his successor. The Republicans should play hardball after the move by Obama on immigration. The next Defence Secretary is almost can not be fired, one can hardly have 5 Secretaries of Defence, it would be record, thus the new Defence Secretary needs to be a strong, with his or her own base of support, outside of the Administration. Also the new Secretary must he a hawk with the ability to stand up to the Oval Office. Interesting days ahead for the Senate confirmation.
