Anyone recognize those foreign jump wings?
This guy may be the real deal - not a pentagon desk jockey.
I'll ask "#2 Son" -- (SGT Major candidate, Ft Bragg) -- he'll know the "straight skinny"...
looks like Obama is trying to find his scapegoat for *not* rescuing the Americans in Benghazi.
Time for an interview with General Ham, ASAP, before anything happens to him.
No doubt Rodriquez is an a$$ kissing politically upwardly mobile General who has seen little action. As Panetta put it, he’s had many “leadership” positions. Funny he didn’t say “combat” posts.
I don’t think this has anything to do with Benghazi. Ham has been in trouble for a few months over some pretty lavish spending habits that have been reported in the Army Times. He will be retiring, but the question is whether he will retire as a 4 star or a 3 star. Dempsey wants him to keep all 4 stars, but Panetta hasn’t made up his mind.
You had an ambassador and communication professional (Smith) who were guarded by the ‘February 17th Martyrs Brigade’.
Were they trafficking heavy arms to Syria? Probably. We’re they doing something hinky? Definitely.
Was what they were doing likely the province of the CIA? Most definitely.
Was the CIA looking in on outright incompetence, while literally within earshot of rifle fire? Yes!
This all misplays Obama’s ideology, long held paranoia and bias world view. I’m sure Obama and his people thought what Steven’s was doing was sexy, because it was risky. Of coarse, a leftist can’t trust the CIA, right? The CIA killed Che, Obama’s hero, Obama is the self styled Che of the new Islamic caliphate.
Again, you can’t trust the CIA, that is until your getting your ass shot off in a third world hell hole and your leftist party friends leave you for dead.

General David M. Rodriguez.
Is this another Perfumed Pantagon Prince or can he actually do something to defend the country?

Sorry about the error,but I misspelled Pentagon.My damn fingers are typing to fast.
It’s extremely hard to know whom to ask and whom to trust. But it would be good if the next C-I-C, assuming it isn’t the Traitor in Chief again, were to look into the top ranks of the military and retire a number of the bad guys.
One clue, I think, would be to fire everyone who was fast-tracked by Obama or Clinton.
It’s a pretty safe rule that Obama hasn’t made one good appointment anywhere during his time in the White House. Not one.
A baby killer as head of the health department. A Communist as head of the military. Insane Czars all over the place. Lesbian whackos on the Supreme Court. He has an almost perfect record of promoting and appointing the worst possible people imaginable.
Would Romney clean out this mess? Frankly, I doubt it. Bush did little or nothing to clean out Clinton’s mess, even though clinton appointees constantly undermined his administration for eight years. I fear that Romney will do no better.
They hijacked the Democratic Party in the 1970s.
He's their ideological issue..
and others of that ilk occupy the federal government.
Bill Gertz wrote in his 2008 book, The Failure Factory..
One of the biggest danger to America is the professional bureaucrats in State, Defense, Justice and the White House executive staff. Many have an agenda that is "overwhelmingly dominated by the long-discredited left-liberal policies that came to dominate the worst of the Democratic Party in the 1960s and 1970s." During the Bush Administration the upper ranks of the military included "Clinton's generals" who had been schooled in political correctness and opposed Bush policies and programs.
So maybe Obama is cleaning house of the Bush generals.. getting ready for term two.
That of course will led to the much-awaited crisis Abe explains from "the other side."
You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half statist and half free; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.
As we approach that crisis the military will have to choose sides.
If Rodriguez was the key architect of the campaign plan we’re so successfully following in Afghanistan, then, no, he deserves to be retired. Victory is all that counts in war, and Afghanistan is getting ready to go down in the record books as a loss. 11years. Over 2000 dead Soldiers. I love our Soldiers and I honor their service, but folks, this one is going down as a loss. And there are way too many losers getting promoted and being allowed to retire.
“and was a key architect of the successful campaign plan that we are now implementing,”
Panetta has a really funny way of measuring “success”. Our combat deaths are up and not from deaths while on patrols or engagement missions but deaths from our guys and our bases coming under attack and more successful attacks. That’s sucess?
Good Lord they seem to be making a sweep of anyone who would disagree with them.....this is way too scary
OMG... this is like the new TV series “Last Resort” except it is for real!
Not Good...
