I'm glad, my posts to you were not meant to make you mad, they were just some observations from someone who has seen this type of thing before. I just don't buy the story above. It takes on hell of a lot more to relieve a line company. I'm sure you know that as well. I don't like to see the home team getting another black eye.

I understand but remember, everyone covers their behind when something like this happens. I'd be willing to bet the President was briefed on today's story before AP's Robert Burns was. I can imagine a secure video conference call that included, at a minimum, the President, Gates, Kearney, and probably Pace.
