FOR OBAMA AND THE PENTAGON, AN UNEASY RELATIONSHIP

FOR OBAMA AND THE PENTAGON, AN UNEASY RELATIONSHIP [Excerpts] 



. . .the friction between the White House and the Pentagon has been particularly pronounced during Obama's six years in office.  That dynamic already appears to be affecting the president's ability to find a replacement for Hagel, who resigned Monday under pressure from Obama. 



Obama has been seen in the Pentagon as being overly suspicious of the military and its inclination to use force to address problems. 



Several White House, defense and other administration officials discussed the relationship between the president and the Pentagon on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to do so publicly. 



Obama's advisers deny Hagel was ousted because he challenged the president.  They cast the former Republican senator as the wrong fit for a job in which he never appeared comfortable.  The aides also defended the White House's lengthy internal deliberations, saying Obama's decision-making process reflects the complexity of the problems.



Hagel's ouster has spurred a flurry of suggestions from foreign policy experts for how Obama can repair his relationship with the Pentagon, from ousting his West Wing aides to revamping the White House's National Security Council, which has ballooned from a few dozen staffers in the 1970s to more than 400. 








Greetings to President of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas 

29 November 2014, 12:00 



Vladimir Putin sent a message of greeting to the President of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas in connection with the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. 



The telegram reads, in part: 



“Russia has been consistently supporting the speedy enforcement of the lawful right of the Palestinian people to an independent, territorially integral and viable state. 



We proceed from the notion that the acquisition of national sovereignty by Palestine on a common [World Tyrant / New Russian Empire] international legal basis would become an important factor of a fair overall Middle East settlement. 



We are prepared, within the framework of multilateral efforts and in close cooperation with you to continue assisting in the resumption of negotiations between Palestine and [Puppet] Israel. 



I am happy to note the friendly and constructive nature of Russian-Palestinian relations.  I am certain that further strengthening of the entire set of mutually beneficial bilateral relations meets the fundamental interests of our peoples.  



I would like to confirm Russia’s intent to further assist Palestinian authorities in establishing national statehood and in resolving pressing social and economic issues.”
