Let's just call it now. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel resigns; Senate GOP to block replacement, then blame Obama for leaving America undefended.
Didn't they try to block Hagel even though he's one of them?

Yeah. Look, it doesn't matter what this white house proposes. If it was Bill O, Palin or St. Reagan himself being nominated by Obama, they would oppose it because Obama proposed it. These people just can not deal with a black President being elected.
Hagel is staying until then find a replacement.

NPR commentators were saying it was largely because Hagel didn't agree with the White House's policy towards Syria, that he was being micromanaged and he just couldn't answer questions about the White House's policy in Syria without sounding confused or doubtful.
