It could be a failed coup or remnants thereof. Also, it could be a classic distraction, a head fake with the complicity of the media to get everything away from Benghazi, and get it onto what crass American grassroots people will eat up and turn their focus to: Generals and Sex, Generals and Sex, Generals and Sex, Generals and Sex, Generals and Sex, Generals and Sex, Generals and Sex

That would be an excellent way to change the subject when the forces of Congressional power are closing in on you over abject incompetence and perhaps criminal behavior over Benghazi-gate. They probably have a deep dossier on a lot of people they can intimidate or run out of the service to save their own asses. I would watch for an end run here folks. Let's not be so easily played for fools here and/or let them change the subject.

I fail to see how throwing these generals out of the service keeps them quiet.

Dead guys tell no tales, but fired guys are renowned for enthusiastically spilling the beans.

A fired general who spilled enough beans would be a shoe-in for a bestselling book.
