Well, in two ways. One, the job he had on the domestic side was not as major formulator of policy.

this whole change is about politics.

Well, Anderson, I think these are important changes, in the sense it's going to make the White House more efficient.

I think there are going to be some more changes coming.

I cannot remember a time when so many generals at high levels during a war have come out against the defense secretary.

I just can't believe he will do it. So, I'm astonished by what they're saying.

I find the story that has emerged from the White House today absolutely extraordinary, even bizarre.

There's a drip, drip, drip that's occurred, that's worn away his -- his credibility for much of the public.

It's going to be harder to argue to the United States public and to the world at large that the intelligence we have in Iran makes them even more threatening than Iraq, and, therefore, we have to do very vigorous, daring things, and -- and…

A significant political problem. I think it's important today that, in a testy exchange with reporters, the White House press secretary did not deny that the president may have authorized this.

It's now clear we know less about the full story on this -- on this whole leak deal than we did -- than we thought we did.

Iraq is a very, very, very strong issue for the Democrats. And to the extent that they argue, hey, look, the president has said he's against all this classification.
