Hmm Obama shifting around his generals as infighting goes on. Now Allen quits. | |
ASHA User ID: 1334279 United States 02/20/2013 01:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Washington -- Quoting: acolyte President Obama is looking for a new candidate to lead American and allied forces in Europe after his first choice, Marine Gen. John Allen, bowed out Tuesday and announced his intention to retire for what he called personal reasons. The move further clouds the picture for Obama as he repositions key figures on his national security team and in key military leadership roles. The White House is fighting for Senate confirmation of Chuck Hagel as defense secretary; a confirmation vote was stalled last week by Republicans but is expected to happen next week. Obama also is switching commanders at Central Command, which is responsible for U.S. military operations throughout the greater Middle East, and Africa Command [snip] [link to www.sfgate.com] A lot of infaction fighting going on. They are all jumping ship or being pushed, lets hope some of them start talking soon. :) |

They will resume their posts when they come out of the bunkers. They need excuses now to cover their absences from the limelight. They are simply dropping out of sight now so we will not notice. I see Bill Clinton has hurt himself and needs to take some time off. All these new faces are basically stand ins…and perhaps going down with the ship. I wonder if they figure it out in time to duck & cover? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 31907650 United States 02/20/2013 01:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Maybe those quitting don't want any part of what's going on? I wouldn't stay in a role with that queen posing as commander in chief. The military isn't a joke and it must be hell for them to have THAT as their overlord. And maybe they've been clued in a bit and said "no thank you, I'm outta here". They'll probably all start having heart attacks and car accidents shortly. PS and totally off-topic - I'm watching a clip of Joe Biden telling people to buy double barrel shotguns and his eyes are still totally fucked up. PPS - I'm sick of him referring to his wife as Dr. Jill Biden. Her Phd is in education, which is the equivalent of an associates degree in the real world. |

John Allen is planning to retire rather than be re-nominated for the powerful post of NATO supreme allied commander-Europe, after White House officials forced him to step aside, a source familiar with the discussions told Fox News on Wednesday. The source told Fox that Allen was leery of getting into a confirmation battle that would dig into the embarrassing issue of his emails with Tampa socialite Jill Kelley, but the real reason was the White House power play.

RE: Biden I don't know WHAT is wrong with him. Has he ALWAYS been this way? He's either a) drinking (?- nah don't think that's it); b)he's really a cartoon character come to life; c) in lust with power; or d) he's been programmed too many times and it's too much voltage for him at such an old age. Also, someone mentioned that perhaps some of these high ranking officers who are retiring, etc. cannot go thru with what could be coming down the line in this country, i.e. harming U.S. citizens. Well, here's something creepy. A neighbor's placed was burglarized and one of the deputy sheriffs that came to answer the call had an accent. I asked him where he was from and he said some country that was inaudible to me, then said it was near Yugoslavia. Hmm. I have heard that we have in the country many imported 'officers of the peace' from Russia, etc. Although he was rather meek and mild acting, it really did creep me out. Then tonight I was out to eat and saw 3 deputies eating dinner in uniform and one of them was of the same "persuasion". Yes, I WAS eavesdropping. What's up with all of this shiz? Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. Whatever feels good to your soul, do that. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27845479 Soldiers do not want the truth. If they could handle the truth the military would have no use for them. The are good attack dogs for the banksters, the defense contractors and oil robbers. Just wave a flag around and tell them x is the enemy. They sure as hell did not have any problem fighting the false flag terror war that has been going on since 911. |
