TSO sends a link from Politico who thinks they have the answer to who will replace Gates as the Defense Secretary;
CIA Director Leon Panetta, the long-rumored frontrunner to replace Defense Secretary Robert Gates, is expected to be Obama’s pick, The Associated Press, NBC News, ABC News and several other sources reported Wednesday morning.
The commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, Gen. David Petraeus, is Obama’s choice to replace Panetta at the CIA.
I would think that Petraeus would take Mullen’s slot as Joint Chiefs Chairman, but, I’m sure that the Obama Administration is just trying to keep him on plantation for the next election. Panetta wasn’t qualified for his job at the CIA, so why would we expect Obama to name someone with experience for the Defense Department.
Fox News claims that Ryan Crocker will replace that dick Karl Eikenberry as ambassador to Afghanistan.
I’m sure John Kerry is upset that he wasn’t chosen, but he’s just biding his time for Hillary’s seat next year.
