the guy bush wants to replace him with is Gates, he is a close friend of the family (to george sr.), the senate has to sign off on it and dems might be in control after recounts today. Successor will have to be sympathetic to both sides to get appointed.

In DC that's a bit of an unprovable technicality. Fired, resigned, stepped down, "want to spend more time with my family" - It's all the same thing. He serves at the pleasure of the Prez and Bush showed him the door. I doubt he woke up and said "I'll quit today." I don't think he is a quitter that suddenly assumes that others could do a better job than he can. That's what I'm thinking anyway. I could be wrong.

I just hope the new guy isn't down with the "Let's redeploy to Okinawa" plan. If he is, then he better do it tomorrow and not drag the $hit out a single extra day. Then he can work on his speech to explain why it is a good idea to let Islamic terrorists win. That could be a hard sell.

Well since the terrorist aren't actually fighting the U.S. army what the government does with it really dosen't matter.
Don't we want them to think they've won? If they think they have won then what reason do they have to blow stuff up?

In positions like his you are descretly asked to step down or be fired...save face...step down. Senior military combantant commanders have not supported him for years.

I agree, he didn't get his position by "spending time with the family" he got his position by studying hard, working hard, exceptional performance, and a little luck. People like that don't quit...besides, the alienation of the family over career cannot be recovered when the kids are out of the house.

This is the general topic forum...we can talk about Mary Ann vs Ginger, watch videos of accidents and fights, but not topics that influence the greatest country in the world? No matter where you stand with your beliefs the undenyable truth is that there are men and women who are fighting or will fight for your right to openly disagree. I love to hear intelligent debates about our goverment, our Nation, and any other open topic because I have been to countries where such discussion is supressed.
