Marine Corp General Mattis to step down

Comment Up
I guess General Mattis won't be at today's inaugural event--

"Word on the national security street is that General James Mattis is being given the bum’s rush out of his job as commander of Central Command, and is being told to vacate his office several months earlier than planned,” reports veteran national security correspondent Thomas E. Ricks.

It now is likely that Gen. Mattis will leave his post in March, several months earlier than planned, as head of America’s most important combatant command. Read more... at the Washington Free Beacon.

What's happening here? As terrorism spreads like a cancer all over the Mid-East and Africa, it seems that Obama wants to pursue a diplomatic resolution to the Iranian nuclear program this year and General Mattis told him the facts. Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria and the Sudan have the largest number of terrorists as Obama winds down our presence in some of those countries where Americans gave their lives. This month, Obama announced a new military strategy that will cut the Pentagon budget by hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade.

Keep on laughing...I was quoting the author. Tell him. He is the expert as the national security correspondent. but I keep telling you that you have a reading comprehension problem.

It doesn't take much to get you going does it?
