Some thoughts on Peter Pace Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Peter Pace emerged last week as an important surrogate in the "public opinion" theater of the Iraq war. He's powerful and effective because even John Kerry and Jack Murtha don't want to go on record contradicting the military's top brass about the progress being made in Iraq.

Great article..
General Pace:
So I say to those now who say, if we just stop fighting in Iraq, if we just stop fighting in Afghanistan, if we just stopped worrying about and chasing the terrorists -- that this would go away -- I say you need to get out and read what our enemies have said. Remember Hitler. Remember he wrote Mein Kampf. He said in writing exactly what his plan was, and we collectively ignored that to our great detriment. Now, our enemies have said publicly on film, on the Internet their goal is to destroy our way of life. No equivocation on their part."
Marines call him "Perfect Peter" and I understand they don't like him much. It seems he makes sure that nothing ever lands on him. This is what I have heard from other Marines, can't say for sure.
We ignored terrorists for years and we got 9/11. Continuing to ignore them WILL lead to the end of our way of life, if not our lives themselves.
Who in the fu** is 'they'?
Terrific!
He's a far more effective speaker than Miers, the guy who preceded him.
"Who is they"???
Excellent comment. The closer to the top on gets in any organization, the BIGGER the target one becomes, especially to the malcontents. (OUCH!)
What can't you say for sure?....that you actually heard this?.....or you don't know if you believe them?
...and how many is 'other'..?
Two?.....two who might have a grief against him......twenty?
Really nasty.
I think you need to check your sources before speading gossip and innuendo.
"Can't say for sure"...then why say it at all?
BTW1) different man, different service, different warfighter, different leadership ethos.
BTW2)If one is unfamiliar with the spelling of his name (that's "Myers") it begs an obvious question.
You need to get your facts in order. First off, it's "Peter Perfect".
Second, I was a Marine for 28 years and I've known Peter Pace for 30 years. I've never heard anything about him that wasn't respectful.
Democrats Boxer, Kennedy, Kerry, Clinton, Biden, Murtha, Reid, Pelosi etc. together compose a team of Socialists who are all losers and shamefully, openly anti-American.
I watched Fox News Sunday yesterday where Chris Wallace allowed Madame Boxer to repeatedly quote from the DNC play book, that there were no WMDs; Wallace did not stop her old, dead fabrications - to his shame. I would love to hear General Pace on that subject.
Meyers was an ineffective speaker. Sounded like a bureaucrat more than a military man.
Uhhmmm...errr...Welcome to Free Republic, where nasty gossip is sure to get you started on the wrong foot...
LOL.....that's what I thought....:))
