Militants
aligned with the self-proclaimed 'Islamic State' (ISIS) boasted Monday
on Twitter that the terror army was responsible for U.S. Defense
Secretary Chuck Hagel's ouster.
'The Islamic State has toppled the US defense minister,' one of the group's social media agitator gloated Monday on Twitter, launching a hashtag with the same message.
ISIS,
known for its gruesome beheading videos, was praised in a long stream
of tweets featuring a Photoshopped image depicting Hagel's head being
severed.
Other
images featured cartoons of Obama kicking Hagel in the backside and
mocking Hagel with emoji for getting choked up during his farewell
remarks.
'Obama: You failed,' several of those tweets read in Arabic. 'Hagel: You need to slaughter dementia.'
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
The ISIS terror army's supporters
flooded Twitter with digital high-fives on Monday after US Defense
Secretary Chuck Hagel was forced out of his job
Hagel's sentimental side showed during
his remarks alongside Obama on Monday, and ISIS sympathizers were quick
to mock him for it
'Obama, the mule of the Jews, has accepted Hagel's resignation,' read another.
'The resignation of US Secretary of War has shaken the thrones of tyrants everywhere,' claimed a third.
Hagel submitted his resignation Monday following pressure from President Barack Obama, multiple sources confirmed.
Administration
officials said Obama made the decision Friday to ask his defense
secretary, the only Republican in his cabinet, to step down after a
series of meetings during the past month.
The scapegoating move was characterized as a summary firing in some corners of the Obama administration.
'Make no mistake, Secretary Hagel was fired,” a plugged-in senior U.S. official told Fox News.
This
same official discounted Pentagon claims it was a mutual decision
claiming President Obama has lost confidence in Hagel and that the White
House had been planning to announce his exit for weeks.
'The
president felt he had to fire someone. He fired the only Republican in
his cabinet. Who is that going to piss off that he cares about?'
Hagel,
68, was brought into the Pentagon five years after retiring from the
U.S. Senate to manage a continuing troop withdrawal from Afghanistan and
oversee a shrinking Defense Department as the Obama administration
managed budget reductions required by automatic cuts in the 2013 federal
budget.
Clearing
him out of the Pentagon as America returns to more active war footing
will dangle a tantalizing history-making opportunity in front of the
president, with a female successor among the most logical candidates
under discussion for the first time in American history.
The
first serious signs that Hagel had fallen out of favor emerged in
August as the White House began focusing on a strategy to push back
against ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
GRUESOME: Hagel is depicted as an ISIS
decapitation victim in a Photoshopped pictire that circulated among
jihadis Monday on Twitter
KNIVES OUT: ISIS makes no bones about taunting and threatening US officials and it's taking credit for Hagel's sacking
