Army Secretary Quits due to incompetence

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/03/...ary/index.html

Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced Harvey's resignation at the Pentagon, just a day after Harvey removed the hospital's commander, Maj. Gen. George Weightman, from his post.

Ohmigosh all the leaders are quitting because they do not know what they are doing...

Ohmigosh this is just the tip of the iceberg with all the U.S. military leadership.

U.S. lost Vietnam
U.S. lost the Korean war.
U.S. is losing the Drug wars...
U.S. is not winning the middle east war...

And all the U.S. military leaders do not know what to do to win any of these wars...

and then there is this thing about President Bush

What media are we counting? It's the lead story on the CNN and New York Times websites.

[I really hate it when the edit button is there when I go to edit, and then apparently the five-minutes mark passes before I submit the edit - I should be able to grandfather it in, dammit!]

BBC as well, although I imagine your point was American media. But the BBC article is centered on the idea that it was the Washington Post articles that led to the firing in the first place.

Yeah, I guess so. I really don't watch tv news at all. I don't keep up with the news enough, but the mainstream source I use when I try tends to be the NYT.

This is because the military leaders are using their pull to insure they do not look bad on the News...

Not that it's anyone elses problem. It is a problem though. I even have car parts stacked on the edges of my bed.

That could be a problem because the out of control flying parts will affect your neighbors...


I guess no one cares about the injured troops coming from Iraq explaining why they get the bad treatment and no one is putting it on the news.. That is so sad...America does not care...

I thought the Secretary of Defense was taking care of that.

No the American media has much more pressing issues. Like for instance going on and on and on and on and on and on and on about a group of greedy derelicts coupled with a rotting corpse.

It's not that they are getting bad treatment. The problem with quite a few of them is head injuries and they can't take care of themselves. It's been in the news a bunch already. It seems building 18 is probably rather out of the way and quiet so they are hanging out there. It sounds like they are confused and it's rather likely they aren't entirely friendly either. I think it's more they treat themselves badly. There isn't any telling them what to do either anymore, they've most been discharged.

It would seem so. It doesn't say whos incompetence he resigned over. Perhaps his own. The big chicken.
