Was General Pace Fired Because He Balked at Iran

"The enemy now is basically evil and fundamentally hates everything we are -- the democratic principles for which we stand ... This war is going to go on for a long time. It's a generational war."

Read that again. Mullen says he thinks we're in a Long War with Evil. Who does that sound like? Click the link above and take a look at Admiral Mullen. That man, if confirmed by the Senate, will have all of our lives in his hands. Is he the man you want to have that responsibility? You do have a say in that - let your Senator know what you think.

When Pace goes, there may be a further shake-out of the Joint Chiefs to remove the other top brass who have reportedly opposed the Surge into Iran. I am afraid that may leave it all in the laps of Congress.

Either the Senate Democrats get their act together, block this appointment, AND get on with the overdue job of Impeachment, or we should be ready to start losing more American cities.

If you liked the preventable losses of the WTC and NOLA, you're going to love the impact of the next act of malign incompetence of the Bush-Cheney Administration. If you liked the optional war in Iraq, now appearing on Central Stage, global war with Iran and Shi'a Islam.

By the way - a war with Iran still doesn't make any military sense. Least of all for the troops on the ground in Iraq, who will be facing an uprising by at least 60 percent of the Iraqi population, which is Shi'a. Maybe, just maybe, Congress understands that. Our Senators can show their understanding of this issue by denying the Admiral's confirmation.

Blocking Mullen and Impeaching Bush may be the most important things we ever do.

1. You know

all the petitions the money I've sent over these years, it seems to make no difference, just makes it looks like there "really" is an opposition, but it all seems a farce sometimes....

2. Pace is too much a kiss-ass to oppose anyone in the hierarchy...

My guess is that, given the impending conflict w/ Iran is going to be an air/sea war, they wanted to put a Navy man at the top.

4. Hopefully the Repugs in Congress have told Bush, if he attacks Iran

Not only will they lose the WH in 2008 but major loses in both houses.

But then again they probably have not thought it out. :shrug:

He just does what "God" tells him :hide:
