Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), today released the following statement in response to the resignation of Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel: "I’ve known Secretary Hagel for many years and consider him a friend. He has served his country with dedication and I wish him well in his future endeavors. "Over the last two years, Secretary Hagel did everything the President asked of him and now is being made a scapegoat for the Administration’s failed policies and relentless pursuit to disarm America. We’ve seen this story before from the White House. Much like what happened to General Jim Jones, the dangerously insular West Wing pushes out those who question their disastrous policies, as Secretary Hagel had begun to do in recent months on sequestration and in a scathing memo to Susan Rice on the White House’s failing strategy in Syria and Iraq. Not surprisingly, the President seems determined to double down on his misguided policies for his last two years in office instead of changing course to deal with the growing security challenges that have festered on his watch.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
