The rumor is he was planning to help in Libya after being ordered to ignore the situation. This is big.




Durn right its big. Generals and Admirals know their assets and capabilities.

If the reports are right and I believe them to be, it means to me that -
We had one General and one Admiral who were willing and able to have their units fight to save Americans under attack by terrorists.

At the same time, we had no President, no VP, and no SECDEF who were willing to fight the same fight.

“inappropriate leadership judgment”

That's "refusal to obey orders."

I have a number of good senior Navy sources and will ask that question. The insiders will know every detail.

If so, a lot of Generals and Admirals, including Petreus need to Resign/Retire in Protest! Enough is enough!!
