Out Paced

Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is out. So the plan is to replace him as the nation's top military officer rather than reappoint him and risk a Senate confirmation struggle focusing on the Iraq War.

So they boot the guy who is supposed to answer questions about the conduct of war, in favor of a guy who hasn't been involved in the mistakes. Makes perfect GOP sense.

Think Progress has a post on the replacement for Pace. Apparently Navy Adm. Michael Mullen said: This war is going to go on for a long time. It’s a generational war!

My children are doomed!
