First, let me say that I believe that Chuck Hagel would have been one of the best Sec of Defense but he was too much a person of the 60′;s and saw war for what it really is……a program not about right or wrong but rather about the true God of Americans….MONEY.
Move on! Yes dear!
The new Sec of Defense will be grilled by the Congress in days to come and he should win support of a GOP lead Congress….why? He is a neo-con and will lead us into more and more conflicts……
The president’s nominee to be the next Pentagon chief says he would consider changing the current plans for withdrawing all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by the end of next year if security conditions worsen.
In written comments to the Senate Armed Services Committee, Ashton Carter responded “yes” when asked if he would consider recommending changes to the current pace and size of the drawdown plan to address security concerns. He also said he is aware of reports that Islamic State militants may try to expand into Afghanistan, and said he will work with coalition partners to ensure that doesn’t happen.
Carter’s comments were included in his answers to a committee questionnaire that was obtained by The Associated Press. They come as Afghan leaders express concerns about the U.S. troop withdrawal and worry that local forces may not be ready to secure the country on their own.
Like it or not…..we are in for a decade, possibly more, of troops being sent to do the job that diplomacy cannot do……Ashton Carter will be the best man for that job. And look for constant intervention in global affairs.
The M-IC is jerking off at the idea of this person taking the reins of the Pentagon……they can smell the profits from their offices.
