Resignations to be sought for top Air Force officials

Uht-Ohh....

Air Force Times staff
Air Force Secretary Michael W. Wynne and Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley are expected to be asked to resign Thursday, Air Force Times has learned.
The stunning development follows a series of high-profile scandals and disagreements between Air Force leadership and Defense Secretary Robert Gates in the past year, during which both the Pentagon and congressional leadership have increasingly expressed frustration about the Air Force's top bosses.
The last straw appears to be a report on nuclear weapons handling by Navy Adm. Kirkland Donald, director of naval nuclear propulsion. The critical report convinced Gates that changes must be made. …
This doesn't sound good. And the REAL reason is...?

Yup...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Michael Moseley has resigned, and Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne may also be on the brink of resigning, the defense publication InsideDefense.com reported on Thursday.
"Top-level Pentagon officials gave Moseley the option to resign or be fired during a meeting this morning,"

And the real reason is---The hawks are cleaning out the dissenters to a upcoming strike on Iran. First Admr. Fallon now these two. I'm sure there have been many that have been relieved of duty in the past few months that we haven't heard about and many more to come.

Let's pray its not going to be an attack on Iran.
I always wonder when you hear, form a public news item, that somebody has been asked to resign, its just a euphemism for being fired. I can understand it beiing offered privately, but if the prson refuses to resign, then the boss should just fire them. Its only perceived as a resignation if its done privately.

Naw, their going to remote control I'm guessing.

USAF downsizing has been going on for a while.

When I saw on TV that one of the excuses for their "resignation" was the "poor" manner in which the USAF commanders handled the missing nukes in a B-52 case It all became very clear.

They are probably against the use of nuclear weapons for staging a false flag or maybe they are just not gonna have this war under their command.

Since the stealing of the nukes was discovered, they are being scapegoated and this has the administration killing 3 birds with one stone. Sends a message to the holdouts about who's the boss, blames the good guys for catching the bad guys and eliminates opposition.

I am getting really nervous about whats coming in the next few months.

Here is a post that was on drudge retort by FWTHOM
who labels himself as a military "MIDDLE AGED MAN"

Which I take it to mean a higher level in the know kind of guy

[Quote]

As much as I'd like to rip on these poor old airmen, something about this isn't right. Normally these things are brought out in a controlled thought out sort of way with deliberation and with a sense of honor. this is quite dishonorable in its perfunctory manner of dispatch.

Its obvious that these guys weren't given this treatment becasue they failed to guard some nukes or mis-ship some nuke parts to our buddies in Taiwan, or they would have been dumped long ago rigth after the fact if it truly was a majopr league fuck-up.. They were put into this situation because they didn't do what they were told, plain and simple.

Moseley was in line with the administration, and as far as I know, one of the few in the AF that actually pushed as the key to turning the tide in the ME surgical air strikes on suspected insurgent camps inside places like Syria, Pakistan, and Iran. He said as much in certain military newspapers I read and then heat my house with

That being said, he must've been unwilling to do SOMETHING, so that something in my opinion must've been of a grander, possibly nuclear nature (see reasoning at bottom). Its my guess someone was up to something in regards to the middle East, possibly Syria or Iran, and Moseley stopped it because it was too reckless.

Now with fuses going to Taiwan and nukes getting mistakenly flown to Louisiana, one does invariably get pushed to thinking about some sort of "false flag" attack that would be used to unleash a response in turn unleashing some sort of full scale attack on Syria or Iran. Moseley only was for action in regards to precision air strikes. What was presented must've been much much greater.

Just this factual tidbit to chew on-- the charge of land based nuclear missiles was taken away from the army and given to the air force by Eisenhower. The envious Navy tried to break this power of the air force and so too did the humiliated Army, but putting a bomb on a ship or in a land vehicle is not quite like putting one on a plane. AF has gotten its better share of budgetary allocations and structured its nuke capabilities wisely. They were obviously the best target to go after for some sort of clandestine air attack that would utilize some sort of event that would set into mption something major, only the air strikes were so much more in scope than even the top AF brass were comfortable with, so there was a rebellion.

But what do I know? I'm only a silly middle-aged Marine.
