Whispers report in the same week.  If you have not yet read the initial update, please do so as it will greatly benefit your understanding of the follow-up post here.  It appears President Obama was given an ultimatum by the Pentagon with a strong assist from a high ranking member of the Senate – an ultimatum that proved influential enough that it convinced Senior White House Adviser Valerie Jarrett herself.   Continue reading “D.C.
