Reply #8: He is out of the loop [View All]

He is, right now, on his FAREWELL SWING. His replacement is the number 2 at JCS, Pete Pace (who will be the first Marine to hold the Chair).

Here's the interesting thing: Bush could have nominated Myers to continue in the post for a third term...time of war, don't change horses in midstream, the usual drill, and the Senate would have rubberstamped the decision, as they will rubberstamp Pace.

But Myers is going home....and I think he would have liked to stay. Judging by the stricken look on his face the day chimpy made the announcement, I am pretty sure he would have liked to stay.

Interesting, eh?
