Shinkseki Resigns

++General Eric Shinseki resigned today to avoid being a distraction to the VA scandal. Naturally,President Obama is being criticized for waiting too long. He waited for the IG Report, which showed a systemic problem.

++The chapter on Benghazi in Hillary Clinton's memoir has appeared in Politico. I would't bet on Hillary becoming a wilted flower on the issue.

++Doug Brooks today wrote an op-ed challenging President Obama's West Point speech saying that "under reach" can result in catastrophe. He quotes approvingly a new article by Bob Kagan.

++Charles Krauthammer weighs in at the Imperial Post to argue against Obama's speech.

++Fareed Zakaria writes that Obama's attitude toward the world is what America needs right now.

++After his tirade against Edward Snowden, Secretary of State Kerry snorts at Dick Cheney's recent attacks on the President as of no use to Kerry for all the wreckage the Administration had to clean up after Cheney left.

++So far this week, President Obama has set the language to which people must respond and they aren't responding well.
