Pace Denies Suggesting a Troop Withdrawal

General Peter Pace says the story was wrong. It was speculation. Leaving us to wonder just what the real story was/is.

General Peter "Cut and Run" Pace

Joining the ranks of those calling for troop removals, the recently removed Peter Pace says half out to be brought out of Iraq by 2008.

Update August 27: Pace denies it.

So Very Put Upon

I've gotten pretty jaded, and even though my posts may be gripey, most of the time I really don't have any emotion behind them anymore. I think that happened about a year ago, after taking a break in Mexico, and after political events just got one too many marks over the absurdity line. But when I read stuff like this, it does manage to give me at least a momentary jolt of disgust. Our soldiers don't need any more encouragement in believing that we're the only force for good in the world, that we're the ones who have to straighten everybody else out, and that the rest of the world makes that job difficult for us.

....but hey, do what you want....because I know you will anyway.

Peter Pace Replaced

No doubt it's been in the works since his homophobic faux pas (calling gays immoral), but I wonder why the announcement that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Peter Pace, will be replaced when his term ends in September was chosen to be made while Bush is in Europe.
