Why on earth would a senator who does not sit on either Armed Services or Intelligence, and who does not even belong to the president's party, have anything insightful to say about what are obviously the internal dynamics on the White House national security team?
I love Bernie, I can't imagine he has anything of value to say here.

I liked Hagel when I lived in Nebraska even if he was a repug.
I'm wondering if he's not on board with the never ending war machine.

interesting....no one is doing well except the war profiteers!
