"In Pace, we see someone who isn’t afraid to admit a mistake and work to correct it, something some politicians might want to take note of."

Quite right - the dems might want to admit all their mistakes and start to actually participate in the war on terror (although I'm sure the author of this piece intended this as a dig at Pres. Bush).

Seems t me he is a "Pace" or two ahead of the rest of the crowd! Candor is refreshing, and I'm glad this man is where he is. I think that Sec. of Def. Rumsfeld will be well served by Gen Pace's honesty and "can- do" spirit, and as a result of that, we citizens will be well served by all.

SandRat:
My friend by the looks of your profile, I see that you are an Army Retiree. However, by some of your posts that I have read, and the replies also, I get the impression that you are really a MARINE at heart. I like you, have been out of the service for some time, almost 65 years in fact. I served one hitch in the MARINE CORPS, but it was so long ago. I still have flying in my front yard the Nations flag, and also the MARINE flag. I carry in my pocket my NARINE money clip, and every day of the year I wear on my collar the MARINE AND UNITED STATES OF AMERICA flag pin. I may be old, but I am proud. I believe in our PRESIDENT and support him in every way that I can. Some time if you have time just check the replies that I have written to other posters. I have only posted a couple of time, but am here on FR every day. At 81 I still work every day (40 hours) and am disgusted with all of the people that stand on the corner and beg. (bums)That is enough from me today.

Good evening and the very best to you and yours.

During a press conference, Pace said troops should intercede immediately. Rumsfeld then told the media he believed that Pace meant to say the U.S. soldiers had to report the abuse, not stop it. But Pace stuck to his original statement. “If they are physically present when inhumane treatment is taking place, sir, they have an obligation to try to stop it,” the general said.

Odd the reporter remembers this but doesn't remember Gen Pace, when answering a question asked by a reporter, looking the reporter in the eye and referring to the military as "YOUR military" with heavy emphasis on your.
