Hillary Clinton's Next Stop: Replacing Robert Gates at Defense?

I wholeheartedly doubt that Hillary Clinton would willingly accept her "demotion" to Secretary of Defense. Do keep in mind that the Secretary of State takes precedence over all other cabinet posts and stands fourth in line for the presidency.

Hillary's best defense plays involved covering for Bill. I see no iota of temperamental or experiential inclinations for Hillary to aspire to, or be particularly well suited for, Secretary of Defense.

Let's see now.... Hillary as Secretary of Defense? Might not be too bad of an idea, actually. Think about it. She certainly scares the hell out of me and she does seem to keep Bill pretty much in line. Maybe she will have the gumption to get our troops back in shape and under better control. We have gone soft over the years with all this political correctness. It's time we became the #1 world power we were once before. These days, we are a laughing stock. We lost in Korea and Vietnam. Why? Because we were afraid of how the rest of the world would look at us if we took out some civilians along with our enemies. People, do you think even for a minute that Al Qaeda or the Taliban care if they kill innocent cicilians? If you do, then you are on the wongs meds. We have to get tough. We have to accept the fact that if we don't take some REAL action, the we are going to be bringing ouot trops home yet again with their tails between their legs. It's time we do what we have to do to win these wars we are in. If that means blowing entire towns into oblivian, then so be it. Maybe Hillary will be strong enough to get us there. Maybe not. All I know is that at this point, we are looking like losers to the rest of the world and those that used to stand by our side have been backignf away from us... Think about it...

Hillary has a "historic political career"? A one term senator from a state she had hardly lived in before being elected, who rode into office on the political coatttails of her husband after being publicly humiliated by him and giving up her dignity to him? A failed presidential candidate and a Secretary of State who has done nothing? Did not support the students in Iran against their dictator government following a phony election. has done nothing to control Hugo Chavez. Has done nothing with US-China relations, though her husband sold the chicoms missiles. Hillary as secretary of defense is something floated by Hillary who can't do anything at the State Dept. and wants to push gay military service and budget cuts at the pentagon, while bragging about being the first female defense secretary.

This whole piece is speculative, coming from the press and not the Sec of State. While State and Defense have different cultures, she knows where the "Light switches" are in Defense. Overall, it is a moot point until two things happen. First - Hillary decides to leave State. Second - if Obama decides to change his VP and Cabinet. The rest of this is journalistic horsehockey.

How about placing a military person in charge of defense. One who knows the defense systems; the planes, ships, weapons strategy. What on earth does Mrs. Clinton know about the job already that she wouldn't have to learn in the first six months? That has what become wrong in the government the last thirty years. presidents placing inexperienced people in charge of agencies they know nothing about. She's great at State why not leave her there??

2016....Bill will be First Dude

1)She will switch places with Biden - he always wanted to be Secretary of State and she, president. The switch is so she could run in 2016 - after Barry's second term ; ...and there will be a second term cuz Republicans can't present us with a worthy candidate. Only fools would reward them for incompetence - the nation and our people's problems requires more than just say NO and tax-cuts for the very rich.

Imagine, husband a draft dodger, Hillalry banning luniforms when first lady and maybe now in charge of the people she dispises.
I think you will see mass resignations. If not they deserve her.

No, Hillary Clinton's next stop --- running for President in 2012......along with Palin. And my vote goes to.......PALIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!
