Bush demoted generals in Pentagon succession order. |
|
Why is President Meathead making Rumsfeld more important than military leadership at Pentagon? What is he trying to pull?

1. God forbid that a Flag or General officer, promoted by the Monkey |
|
and given the advise/consent approval of the Senate, be permitted to exercise authority on even a temporary basis!!! Far better to place these decisions of the highest order during times of crisis in the hands of a college drinking buddy, you see!!!!!

5. Pentagon succession shake-up only dealt with civilians |
|
Secretaries of Army, Navy, and Air Force are civilian positions by law. Nevertheless, the shake-up was prime example of cronyism and possibly a stealth was to appoint a PNACer to SOD without Senate confirmation.
