Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Pace to Step Down

Secretary of Defense Gates is currently announcing that he will not be re-nominating General Pace to head the Joint Chiefs.

The reason?

Malott's Blog believes that this was decided because - the confirmation process would involve an ugliness that this outstanding General should not have to endure.

Yes, all those brave leaders in Congress won't get to pick apart this oustanding soldier and public servant.

Good luck, General Pace... And thanks for your service to our country.
