Based on what Gates said, Pace is being forced out because of Senators who would make a “very contentious process” out of the confirmation hearing of a nomination for a second term.
Gates is saying that the Vice Chairman faced the same kind of confirmation process “that would not be in the best interests of the country”.
This is result of the rotten RATS, who have succeeded in dislogding the senior uniformed leadership of our military. IMO, those RAT Senators can go blow it out a tailpipe.
Gates: “I am disappointed that circumstances make this kind of a decision necessary.”
I thought the Chairman serves a 4 year term. Most of the previous ones (powell, shelton) served that long.
They hated Rumsfeld and demanded his head. Bush gave it to them. That led them to demand Gonzalez’ head, which Bush did not give them. Now they’ve thrown a shot-acoss-the bow before a confirmation hearing to intimidate a man who has done a good job and who is already up-to-speed on all that has been and is happening.
The Dhims are willing to destroy the country for their own power.

Uh huh. My bullsh*t meter just maxed out. If this were remotely true then that would mean: A) that the Bush administration won't support it's people, and B) anyone who takes the job does so knowing that they can expect zero support from the White House.
Why am I not surprised
I did not understand what you posted AC, can you please explain again? Thank you.
