Mad Dog questioned Obama too much.
Can't have a qualified General questioning Obama's "open-hand" policy for
Iran. How many generals has Obama gotten rid of? It's almost like he
doesn't want anyone questioning his failed foreign policy.
>From WFB <http://freebeacon.com/report-obama-ousting-centcom-chief-mattis/>:
“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<http://ricks.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/01/18/the_obama_administration_s_inexplicable_mishandling_of_marine_gen_james_mattis>
.
It now appears likely that Gen. Mattis, a Marine Corps legend, will leave
his post as head of America’s most important combatant command in March,
several months earlier than planned. Ricks continues:
*Why the hurry? Pentagon insiders say that he rubbed civilian officials the
wrong way — not because he went all “mad dog,” which is his public image,
and the view at the White House, but rather because he pushed the civilians
so hard on considering the second- and third-order consequences of military
action against Iran. Some of those questions apparently were uncomfortable.
Like, what do you do with Iran once the nuclear issue is resolved and it
remains a foe? What do you do if Iran then develops conventional
capabilities that could make it hazardous for U.S. Navy ships to operate in
the Persian Gulf? He kept saying, “And then what?*
Wanna bet Iranian-born Valerie Jarrett is involved?
*Inquiry along these lines apparently was not welcomed — at least in the
CENTCOM view. The White House view, apparently, is that Mattis was too
hawkish, which is not something I believe, having seen him in the field
over the years. I’d call him a tough-minded realist, someone who’d rather
have tea with you than shoot you, but is happy to end the conversation
either way.*
