ARTICLE: "Pace to Step Down as Chairman of Joint Chiefs: Gates Recommends Bush Nominate Adm. Michael G. Mullen for Post," By Josh White, Washington Post, June 8, 2007
Definitely a wow, since Pace just nom'd for second tour.
Shows how bad White House-Congressional relations are right now over Iraq.
People like Mullen, Mr. 1000-ship navy, for his focus on international cooperation (the notion behind the fantastically-numbered fleet).
Gotta consider an upgrade.
Cartright for Giambastiani is decent trade.
