Vice Admiral Robert Harward turns down NSA position (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-harward-idUSKBN15V2Z7)

He wanted personnel changes that Trump did not agree too.


President Donald Trump's choice for national security adviser, retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward, has turned down the offer, a senior White House official said on Thursday.


Harward was offered the job after Michael Flynn was fired by Trump on Monday for misleading Vice President Mike Pence over his conversations with Russia's ambassador to the United States.


The White House official said Harward cited family and financial reasons for opting not to take the job. Harward is a senior executive at Lockheed Martin.
Two sources familiar with the decision said Harward turned down the job in part because he wanted to bring in his own team.



That put him at odds with Trump, who had told Flynn's deputy, K.T. McFarland, that she could stay.

Finally someone has wised-up to the personal-destruction Trump causes.

Harward saw the writing on the wall.

Good. The president is the boss and if he didn't want him to "bring his team with him" then Harward was right to not accept the position and the president was right for not giving him carte blanche.

I think Harward was a bad choice anyway. These guys who have military careers then retire and go to work for defense contractors are the problem. Part of the swamp that needs drained. The military industrial complex.

I am not qualified for that position.

Oh, we already knew that, but if you were?

[Beevee]

I am not qualified for that position.

Then you are the ideal person to take it under the Trump employment plan.

[birddog]

He needs to bring in John Bolton, a good, competent man.

he's not that stupid

signing up for the trump admin is like buying a ticket on the titanic after it hit the iceberg

[Crepitus]

This may be a bigger deal than it seems like at first. He is the first person ti turn Trump down as far as I know. I think it's possible now that the ice has been broken others may feel safe in doing so.

Could have a big effect on who ends up where.

Same as you. "thank god that trump guy only lasted a few months".

Recent history indicates presidents, for good or ill (see Obama) get eight years. My prediction is Trump will have eight years in office.

You guys should plan for eight, wonderful Trump years. If the Establishment Republican Congress follows Trump's lead you should plan for 50 years of Republican control of the House, Senate, and maybe the Presidency.

Oh yeah. Biiig. Deal. :biglaugh:

What's obvious is that Harward's preliminary intent was to accept the job, or he would not have been offered it. He declined when he found he could not have his own people.

Ockham's Razor only when it suits you, it appears. Salivating piranhas with big teeth and no brains do not impress me; you're going to have to really shift hard to return to rational discourse instead of partisan rankling nonsense. You've already been marginalized.

Looks like you are correct (https://www.newsmax.com/Politics/david-petraeus-trump-list-michael-flynn/2017/02/17/id/774317/). Petraeus wouldn't take the deal without bringing his own staff.

i think it's more a question of having to deal with the myrmidons that bannon wants t impose, but the end result is the same.
