U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said on Thursday night he would nominate retired Marine Corps General James Mattis, known as "Mad Dog" and renowned for his tough 0546 numara talk and battlefield experience in Iraq and Afghanistan, to lead the Pentagon.

"We are going to appoint 'Mad Dog' Mattis as our secretary of defense," Trump told a hd porno izle rally in Cincinnati. He said the formal announcement would be made on Monday.

The choice of a seasoned military strategist would be another indication that Trump, a Republican, intends to steer U. porno sexleri S. foreign policy away from Democratic President Barack Obama's increased reliance on U.S. allies seks to fight Islamist militants and to help sikis deter Russian and Chinese aggression in Europe and Asia.

Mattis is a revered figure in the Marine Corps and known for his distrust of Iran.

The Washington Post and CNN reported earlier that Trump had chosen Mattis, but Trump spokesman Jason Miller said earlier on porno sexleri Twitter that "no decision has been made yet with regard to Secretary of Defense."

While the nomination of the 66-year-old Mattis would likely be popular among U.S. forces, it would have seks to clear a bureaucratic hurdle.

Because he retired hd porno izle only in 2013, Mattis would need the U.S. Congress to waive a requirement that a defense secretary be a civilian seks for at least hd porno izle seven years before porno taking the top job at the Pentagon. His impressive combat record, however, may deter some Senate Democrats seks from trying to block his nomination.

Trump has described Mattis as "a true general's general."

The New York real sikis estate magnate famously asserted last year: "I know more about ISIS than the generals do."

sikis Mattis, whose past hd porno izle assignments include leading Central Command, which oversees U.S. military operations in the Middle East and South Asia, is known for his colorful expressions that unashamedly embrace the job of the U.S. armed forces: fighting wars.

In one famous line in 2003 attributed to Mattis, the general told Marines in Iraq: "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet."

TOUGH TALK

In a 2016 question-and-answer sikis session, Mattis appeared to be moved by a Marine's question about how far out he could inflict casualties with his knife hand, known as a "kill-casualty radius.
