If the quotes we are hearing are correct, he was way out of line,
almost unbelievably so for someone in his position. Perhaps in his
subconcious mind he really wanted out of the job. Things like that
happen.


He was stuck with a reporter for a month because of the Iceland no fly
thing and I imagine some of the things he said were not really
intended for publication. I agree, a military guy does not really have
the freedom to speak candidly about the CnC.


How did he get setup like that?

I know of no one that isn't dead that could go a whole month and not say
something they didn't want everyone to hear.

Maybe Obama did? Wants to run him off?
