The White House expects him to be a big force at the Pentagon, they want him to be – they claim they want him to be more confrontational with the White House national security team. Of course, Savannah, as we know, that has been a problem for the three defense secretaries in the Obama years – Gates, Panetta, and Hagel – all of whom have complained that they have not been able to break that tight circle around the President. I have aides tell me they want Ashton Carter to be a bull in a china shop if necessary and be that person.Good luck with that!
