So how many Generals has the Administration dispatched?

Whatever the number, they're after another one.
......the probe that Attorney General Eric Holder ordered initially focused on whether the information came from inside the White House [fat chance of that going anywhere], by late last year FBI agents were zeroing in on Cartwright, who had served as one of the president’s “inner circle” of national security advisors. Two sources said prosecutors were able to identify Cartwright as a suspected leaker without resorting to a secret subpoena of the phone records of New York Times reporters.

Would appear the regime is draining the military swamp of anything but loyalists. That would of course be a prerequisite to fundamentally transforming America. And given the acquisition of ammo and combat vehicles by Homeland Security.....?
 
Bunker up! The apocolypse is coming, and its bringing Hell with it, riding in on a Grizzley Bear and whipping it with a rattlesnake. Hate! Fear!. Wingers and Baggers and their silly ass conspiracy theories, GMAFB. Seen any Birth Certificates lately?

Take it from Stanley McChrystal a flaming liberal who got shit canned for calling it like it is. That his commander in chief is total "fubar".

Don't worry about the apocolypse granny, you won't live to see it, your days of getting teabagged by commie date rapists are just about over.

You can join Ted Kennedy and all the rest of the statist swine in hell.

Nice self-contradicting gobbledeygook.

FBI agents following the evidence to a close Obama adviser clearly shows that Holder is diverting the investigation away from the White House.

Got a link so we can see which blog, opinion column or winger "think tank" you're posting?

Cartwright retired from military service on August 3rd, 2011. The headline clearly states...Ex-Pentagon General...

Can't drain what isn't in the pool...

He retired because of a dust up with a young lady who was sent with him overseas as an assistant. He was found not guilty of sexual assault via an internal military investigation, but then... Who isn't?

Republicans have some Bizarro World heroes these days, don't they?

Do a little digging into how the Uniform Code of Military Justice is actually applied in today's military, and you'll understand why so many folks have zero confidence in the Gov't..... it's a real disillusioning experience.

Today's??? I knew a gentleman by the name of Luther West...

"They Call It Justice: Command Influence and the Court-Martial System."

http://www.abebooks.com/9780670699070/Call-Justice-Command-Influence-Court-Martial-0670699071/plp


But it isn't. An army lawyer for 17 years, West writes a coolly controlled, tightly documented indictment of military ""justice."" He argues that it is ""fixed"" from the outset by command influence. What this means in plain English is that a single individual--a division commander or ""convening authority""--decides which crimes will be dealt with by court-martial; decides on the make-up of the jury; selects the judge, prosecutor, and defense counsel. The concept of ""due process"" is rendered a nullity. The imperatives of barracks discipline, a commanding officer's reputation, battlefield exigencies, and military public relations are the actual determinants of who will be brought to trial and punished, and how severe the sentence will be. West is not the first to challenge the anomalies of the court-martial. Robert Sherrill's Military Justice is to Justice as Military Music is to Music (1970) gave the outraged civilian's view of military ""show"" trials, and did so in a context allowing full play to the barbarities and sadism of military discipline. West compiles a lawyer's dossier of cases with the force of inside knowledge. He comes down especially hard on the paper reforms of the landmark Uniform Code of Military Justice (1951) which specifically outlawed command influence--but in fact didn't make a hell of a difference. The cases he discusses at length--the scape-goating of Lt. Calley, the acquittal of Capt. Medina, the acquittal of Col. Henderson--underscore the self-serving nature of military justice. More restrained than Sherrill, West proposes some obvious and belated reforms to save the Billy Budds of the future from the dubious ideals of ""military necessity.
