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...

This is probably just the tip of the iceberg. Obama's starting from the top and working hs way down. If he feels there is no way that the House will give him his way so he can re-open the government, he will keep firing and replacing them with more friendly people.

He will also go and kill some terrorists, maybe attack Venezuela to get his poll numbers up higher and then to the real objective... remember the tanks facing the Kremlin during the end of the Soviet Era? Well, how about American tanks facing the House of Reps directed by the White House.

Obama will try to arrest those who tried to take the American economy "hostage" and tried to force negotiations with a "gun at their head". They will either exit the House or Obama will take matters into his own hands.

Obama will stop at nothing. He will tell the American people he had to do it to re-open the government and avoid the default.

"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.'

Too bad ethical standards of behavior never applied to bill clinton.

Stalinbama is starting his purge. Anyone who might disobey his orders to attack Americans or use nukes in support of alQaeda is being released.

The Navy Yard shooting was on Sept 16th. The NYT lists the victims at http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/09/17/us/washington-navy-yard-victims.html?_r=0 It claims that they were all civilians, though some had formerly been in the military.

According to the article, what stopped them from doing the 9-11 nuke attack?

At http://voices.suntimes.com/early-and-often/sweet/president-obama-daily-guidance-and-press-schedule-sept-11-2013-remembering-9-11/ it shows that as of Sept 10th, Obama’s schedule for 9-11 had press events in the morning and his afternoon was supposed to be doing a “service project” in the “DC area”. Leaves a lot of leeway for him to slip into the bunker they’ve built for him...

I wonder who the sources for that article are supposed to be.

Hard to say.

Witnesses who were there in the building said there was more than one shooter. The FBI came up with a video that follows the ‘official’ killer as he entered and moved about the building. But...there was a janitor shot dead in the alleyway outside and along the building, indicating there was more than one person killing people at that time period.

The fact that too much effort is being expended NOT providing the truth about what happened there is of itself telling.

I don’t know if this is even relevant, but an aquaintance who enlisted in the military had to sign a “classified” addenda to his contract promising that he would obey when ordered to shoot Americans.

As a veteran I can tell you I never signed anything like that 30 years ago. The fact it was “classified” tells us that BHO2 is devious, making the young and impressionable sign a contract agreeing to follow an illegal order.

People who followed the illegal orders of Nazi Germany were hanged after being tried at Nuremberg half a century ago.

And no other general staff or field grade officers would know about this, or do anything about this?

I will agree to disagree with you on this one.

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.

Source please?

Also, red states? Blue states? Or a proportionate mix?

JugEars has no problem at all with firing the white males, but never in a billion years will he fire the likes of Lois Lerner, Fast and Furious higher-ups, incompetents like Eric Holder .

Rather, he puts them on paid leave, lets them do lateral moves, even promotes some of them.

I cannot provide a source. Hackers only have less than 40 seconds to read this stuff before breaking contact, because otherwise the Feds get a fix on them.

Savez-vous?

Earlier this year, two of the three missile wings under Carey’s command received unsatisfactory ratings in regular annual inspections... In August, the 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana, failed its third inspection in five years... In May ,the 91st Missile wing at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota suspended 19 missile officers for retraining after that unit received an unsatisfactory rating for one aspect of its inspection.

These sound like problems, but the real issue likely is that he prays at some Catholic or Protestant church on Sunday. He could certainly overcome such by attending a mosque or coming out of the closet or both.
