Pace says he refused to quit voluntarily

In his first public comments on the Bush administration's surprise decision to replace him as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Gen. Peter Pace disclosed that he had turned down an offer to voluntarily retire rather than be forced out.

D'OH!

Wait a minute - so your reasoning is that Pace should have been fired for saying publicly that he got fired? That logic doesn't seem a little circular to you?

I don't see anything in that article pointing to Pace giving out any details other than that he got fired rather than quitting. He neither talked about his superiors, nor did he talk about his career other than to say it was over.
