"Pace, 59, currently the Joint Chiefs vice chairman, would be the first Marine to hold the top job in the military."

After all these years not one Marine general has gotten this job?!

These men are obviously too close to the President and Donald Rumsfeld to give impartial and opposing viewpoints within the administration. Just another rubberstamp. We are doomed. Until Blow Biden takes over for us, we are doomed.

Thats an even better pick than the Cardinals made for Pope. I can't believe there hasn't been a Marine selected before.

For most of their existence the Marines were considered just a subunit of the Navy, not a separate branch.

How long until the first Rat smear job hits the airwaves and front pages? I give it 24 hours, tops.

I think they've always been a separate service, but within the Department of the Navy.

I'm not sure, but it was definitely well after WWII.

I'm wondering how long the position of head of the Joint Chiefs has existed.

Guadalcanal, August 1944.

Something republican senators are genetically incapable of being.

They'll find some female somewhere to say that he was not always a nice man, and didn't play well with others.
