Congress doesn't like General Pace and let Gates know in no uncertain terms that if he were renominated to serve as CJCS again that his confirmation would be bloody.
Gates caved to political pressure.

Gates caved to political pressure. Agreed...I can't help but think that Murtha and the move to bring up the Haditha Marines on charges may have had something to do with it. I can't believe General Pace was going along with the way this is being handled.

Bingo.
I was never crazy about Gates, but that’s another story.
