It's excellent. Odierno is the right man on the ground, so the shift works really well. I hope the confirmation is quick...it's a good move. |

Apparently Petraeus is being nominated for the big promotion to head of Central Command to replace Fallon, who fell out with the Big Brain. |

As John says, filling Petraeus' spot when he moves to central command. I think it's a better use of both men's talents. |

It does sound like an awfully good move. I wonder how it will get messed up... |

Deb, how is it come that you know so much about military life (a sense that I get, maybe I'm wrong). Do you live near military people? Military family? Are you a secret op for the CIA, who just sings as a cover? |

R2, I could tell you but I'd have to kill you :lol: Actually, we just have a lot of family and friends who are closer than family who are in the service. That's been the case since I was a little kid, so I've always had an interest. |

All right. I'm not sure I believe you. I'm bettin' that you were trained to use those snakeskin pumps as a communication device, and weapon, if necessary. Car was stolen by the enemy, along with secret weapon pumps. You were able to get away only because you had an evening bag with you that emitted an emergency smoke screen. That's just a theory. Some details may be off. |
