5. CIA guy runs the military, Military guy head of CIA
Admiral Wm. Fallon will run the ground "War"
Head of "Intelligence" Negroponte replaced by (ret.)Vice Admiral Mike McConnell...

As Al Franken said today they are not rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, they are swapping seating positions on the Titanic.
