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

Posted on 10/12/2013 4:17:04 PM PDT by FR_addict

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...

Oui.

I expect if that many people know about it (the governors of 25 states and their staffs at a minimum) it’s bound to be leaked within the week.

Yeah, I savez.

It’s Internet BS. That’s the kind of “official/serious” answer that is used to explain away objections or questions. It’s akin to “I could tell you, but I would have to kill you.”

The EBT system crashed because idiots were trying to do a weekend upgrade. I have been through that more times than I care to admit. They choose a long weekend because they think there will be less traffic. They don’t realize people on EBT don’t plan their purchases.

Everything is not a conspiracy. Especially when it can be explained by incompetence.

at this point, being taken over by Russia would be welcomed....at least they believe in having children, and allowing religious freedom....

look homeward, angel...that runs thru my mind....like everything we were taught from grade school, everything is upside down...and we'll start looking at things in different ways...and we'll be looking for a "home" somewhere....and it may be the "old country" as our elders would talk about Poland, Germany, Russian, Ukraine, etc...

and we may yet find our humanity, our creativity, our ambition,our stamina, our common sense and our fear of God if the horrible things we talk about come to pass.....we'll have to go "home"...to our original values...

We don't want to believe that our anti-defense positions are making nuclear exchanges more likely with each year, so it must all be a conspiracy.

Now, now, null, m'FRiend -- be fair. It has LONG been known that the 1937 purge of much of the Soviet military leadership was the result of a (remarkably successful) disinformation plot by -- ready? -- none other than Reinhard Heydrich. You remember him, surely. One of Hitler's most ruthless (and high-ranking) henchmen. Look it up, mate -- I've nothing to sell here.

And this little purge ultimately cost the lives of AT LEAST 150,000 Sov soldiers, perhaps even treble that, due to the incompetent generalship remaining. Not unlike Shcharkovsky in WWI, except (shall we say) involuntary.

Not that I weep for this development, mind you, but pls lay the finger of blame where it belongs, namely, Stalin getting conned by Hitler's minions.

Could be. Saw some twits on twitter and they were blaming Republicans and the shutdown for canceling "their" benefits.

Threatening to riot.

You talk like the idjets who mocked me in 2008 when the Democrats hacked my computer in April, June, and October.

I was posting information about BHO2. Just for spite, they did it again after the Inauguration in 2009.

The man in the White House isn’t who he claims to be. He isn’t Barak Hussein Obama II. He is not an American. He is a Marxist and Muslim. He is a malicious narcissist and won’t hesitate to have as many Americans murdered as necessary to achieve his goals.

We, as a nation, have been punked.

Ok, I’ll bite. What have you got on your computer that makes these guys want to hack you?

And, if you had any idea of how hackers work...how could you let it happen not just once...but three more times.

I would like to believe you, but your story isn’t credible without some credible proof.

<< Do you remember someone talking about “stars falling”? This is almost an everyday occurrence, now. >>

Now that you mention it, yes. Very interesting.

Every national election I research the presidential and v.presidential candidates. While researching BHO2’s information it was literally being scrubbed as I found it. So I went to African newspapers, and hit a gold mine!

Prior to 2006, BHO2 boasted of being born in Kenya. After 2007 the Democrats feverishly scrubbed the internet. African publishers resisted, and it wasn’t until mid-2010 that the information concerning a Kenyan birth was gone.

What was on my computer is now gone. I’m just a user.

I’m not a hacker. Never claimed to be. But I’m certainly not going to tell you anything about how I came by the information! Just note that if go to twitter you will discover a great many people tweeting that there will be riots and they blame the Republicans. Kind of obvious it’s organized and contrived.

What's going on???

The military's top command is being replaced with homo-friendly squishes and political hacks.
Hope that answers your question.

Because Twitter is a reliable source of information.....

I am not tryin to be a buzz kill. I am trying to keep the unbiased hyperbole in check.

The conspiracy theories are running rampant because many folks cannot conceive of their government being run by idiots. THAT is the simplest answer. They really ARE that stupid.
