"The first national security casualty of Obama’s midterm elections defeat": Defense secretary Chuck Hagel, whose firing/departure will be officially addressed by the White House later today. For now:
"Hagel was out of step with the administration on Isis, having urged the White House to clarify its stance on ushering Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad out of power and bizarrely inflating the threat Isis posed, calling it 'an imminent threat to every interest we have' in an August press conference," reports The Guardian.
