The top general in charge of the U.S. Air Force's entire arsenal of nuclear weapons has been relieved of his command due to loss of trust, defense officials told NBC News.

The officials would not say what led to the firing of Maj. Gen. Michael Carey, but said it had nothing to do with his command of the nuclear stockpile or any form of sexual impropriety.

He probably refused to kiss obama’s ring.

Sure seems like a lot of the top brass are being removed. If I were paranoid, I’d be worried.

When asked by the CIC, he said that he would not be willing to nuke a TEA party rally if ordered to do so. Obama will replace him with someone who can take orders.

“Lack of Trust”

That could mean a lot of things. Including not being able to be trusted to blow off an unnecessary nuke on Barry’s orders.

Consolidating his power base to proclaim himself dictator for life?

Sounds like the NSA went through his gmail account and found him playing paddycake with someone not his wife, or taking a few $$ from some military contractors or something. There’s always a skeleton lurking somewhere and if you look hard enough and you have the resources of the NSA and the target is of high enough value, you’ll find them.

The Air Force General is accused of using counterfeit chips in a casino. If this is real; being removed from command is the least of his worries.

No conspiracy, if you've been around the military long enough you see all types.

When top brass gets removed, it reveals the paranoid one to be the Leader.

He must be a Republican. If he had been a Dem, nothing would have happened to him.

Nuke the red state clingers to bible and guns, and send MRE's and cheese to the blue state clingers to food stamps and obamaphones.

Blame it on Israel.

That is the executive trust test.

Lack of trust? Or lack of support for perverts in the military?

Probably because Obama keeps his ring in his back pocket.

Damn. I would think a General wouldn’t be within miles of a casino with counterfeit chips, real chips or no chips at all. Just seems like one of those “what two things do no go together” deals.

"General, we're thinking we're going to nuke Tel Aviv next weekend. Will you be ready?"
"Sir, that's madness!"
"Okay. You failed the test. You are now retired."

A purge, the one found out something that scared him...
Better get ready once all opposition has been removed
And to think people used to scoff at my warnings
