I’ve been reading some of the Air Force firings threads.

Apparently, one of the reasons for the firings has to do with these folks going to Congress behind the back of Gates. Think Murtha. We’ve thought that the Service Secty/Service Chief connection exists, but this is a smoking contrail.

Also on one thread:

***The official also pointed to statements of a top Air Force general that directly contradicted what Secretary Gates has said about spending on Air Force F-22s.***

I’m all for honest generals speaking out, but one wonders if this was about “honesty” or treasured contracts?

Murtha = Money

Murtha was a smart but petty thug at the time of ABSCAM. Like a virus that’s hurt but not killed, Murtha adapted. He learned to go for big scores through the paper labrynth of appropriations. Millions disappear like pocket change and Murtha laughs at the hicks back home who keep sending him back to Congress.

Maybe the worm is turning. His buddies, Bill and Hillary, are washed up. Pray he’s next.
