Why the ousting of the US Defense Secretary?

What is the Obama madhouse planning now?  Whatever it is, take it for granted that it will be yet another boondoggle.  If the plans are to get rid of the Assad regime in order to please Saudi Arabia, Israel and Turkey .... do you think the world is going to become safer by so doing or will the world increase its quota of jihadis?  How many Christians are already fleeing Syria and how many more will flee if they can, if jihadis take over the entire country?  How many wealthy Shiites and Sunnis will make their way to the West once the secular regime of Assad is no more? What's good for the three countries there pulling the strings of their puppet America, is not good for any of us in the West,  but we are too short-sighted to see it.
