Air Force Fires Two Star General in Charge of Nuke Missiles
ABC News ^ | Oct. 12 2013 | Luis Martinez and ABC News video

Video at link:

The Air Force’s two star general in charge of the units responsible for its 450 nuclear missiles has been fired “due to a loss of trust and confidence in his leadership and judgment.”

Maj. Gen. Michael Carey has been removed from command of the 20th Air Force, according to an Air Force statement. That command is responsible for the three wings that maintain control of the 450 intercontinental ballistic missiles scattered in missile silos across the northern plains.

Lt. Gen. James Kowalski, the commander of Air Force Global Strike Command, made the decision because of what the statement said was a ”loss of trust and confidence. etc...

Kodlick would not specifically reveal where the personal misbehavior may have occurred or may have consisted of though he said it did not involve criminal behavior.

Kowalski’s command is responsible for two-thirds of the nation’s nuclear triad, including Air Force nuclear missiles and long-range bombers.

Kodlick explained that personal behavior is important in nuclear commands because “it’s a position of great trust and responsibility.” He added that “the nuclear deterrence mission is one of great focus and discipline. Personal behavior is vital to that, especially from a commander.

Earlier this week President Obama relieved of command the number two officer at U.S. Strategic Command, which among other things oversees the military’s nuclear forces. Vice Admiral James Giardina had earlier been suspended from that command following a criminal probe into his potential use of counterfeit poker chips at an Iowa casino. etc...

Well, BHO2 is a Muslim Marxist and he has found himself in a bind with the Congressional Republicans. Sen.Cruz is NOT going to let up on the pressure.

What to do?

BHO2 is advancing his timetable, his schedule on declaring martial law.

I believe he has no care over how to do it. This man loves no one except himself.

I found out just this morning that the Federal Department of Human Services sent out messages to 25 States’ Governors that the EBT system was going down in their state and provided 25 different reasons.

The EBT shutdown is being orchestrated from the White House.

Let the riots begin!

This is in the light of the Tyrant’s treason, over and over.

Soon all US Generals will willingly murder
and nuke Americans for the Tyrant who
has weaponized and assisted al Qaeda/MB.

More like will you fire on American citizens...

Fershure....things we never thought we'd see in our lifetimes, but are seeing daily -- all the way down to park rangers.

I'm glad I'm 66, and not 26.

This would not surprise me, and would actually answer some of my WTH? questions.

I wonder how a person would check out the facts regarding how the POTUS is supposed to be arrested when it becomes known that he is engaging in war against America.

This would sure explain why Obama is so pissed off at everybody and doesn’t even try to hide his contempt for the American people, the military, or the Constitution. The combination of Janet Napolitano’s comments and the D Congresswoman who said that an EMP-type event was 100% certain raised huge red flags to me, as did the planned early-November drill for the power grids all being out.

Where was Obama on 9-11? What day was the Navy Yard shooting? Have they published the names and ranks of those killed that day, yet? They certainly have had time to notify the relatives by now.

My bet is that if anything like this happened, somebody on the Joint Chiefs of Staff informed Obama of the threat. One of my first thoughts when I read that article was that it would be encouraging if the Joint Chiefs of Staff did ANYTHING besides provide mouth service to Obama. After the Night-of-the-Long-Knives stuff that happened shortly after Benghazi, I think Obama can be pretty sure that at least one of them will betray the country and protect the Foreign Enemy Combatant in our White House instead.

Also, from May:

AP Exclusive: Air Force sidelines 17 ICBM officers


The Air Force stripped an unprecedented 17 officers of their authority to control - and, if necessary, launch - nuclear missiles after a string of unpublicized failings, including a remarkably dim review of their unit's launch skills. The group's deputy commander said it is suffering "rot" within its ranks.
