I hate to say it, but it's time to clean house at the Pentagon

[berni_mccoy]

If what the White House says is true, that the Pentagon is leaking numbers to shape the outcome of the President's decision on Afghanistan, then absolutely, the President needs to start putting heads on platters. Leadership in the Pentagon is trying to control the President. That's not how it works in the U.S. and Obama needs to show them he means business. By leaking this information, they are engaging in seditious activity against the Commander in Chief. This isn't a general trying to speak the truth as in the case of General Shinseki citing more than 400 thousand troops would be required to secure Iraq. This is pentagon officials playing politics to get what they, and the military contractors they support, want. It's time to lay down the law. It's time to roll some heads.

2. I don't hate to say it.

3. If that is happening, I agree. I think the top ranks should

be purged anyway. I just wonder if leaks could be coming with a wink.

they wouldn't hesitate to clean house.

7. The bu$h administration got rid of those with a conscience, keeping and promoting

the paranoid war lovers. Obama needs to correct that situation.

8. There needs to be a complete investigation-I agree

Seems they don't want to follow the chain of command. Yes, it appears politics and corporate greed is involved. If our congress can be bought off, why not the Pentagon?

9. This is nothing new...

...leaks are always used to apply political pressure.

10. No it's not.

It's WAY past due.

For the Pentagon to have sat on its hands while we were being told, Told, TOLD that Iraq was 15 minutes away from launching a WMD attack on us, and for that whole fucking building not to have had ONE SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT IT....

For them to allow us to go into a WAR over NOTHING LESS THAN A BALD FACE LIE...

They are WAY PAST the time to clean house...
