Top U.S. Air Force official resigns: report
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," the website reported, quoting an unidentified military official. "Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne also could resign later today," it said.

UPDATE, 4:40 CDT: Seems that the spin is that this action was taken in response to the screw-ups in handling the nuclear weapons that the Air Force controls:
WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Robert Gates says he has accepted the resignations of the military and civilian Air Force chiefs after a report found a pattern of poor performance in the way the service handles nuclear weapons.

There are many reasons to be distrustful Laura, you should check out Chris Floyd's website and his many articles on the preparations for war on Iran.
Yeah, Jim, I'm with you....
Yeah, Jim, I'm with you.... I don't trust anything from this administration. So many other fuck-up's have gone unpunished, why start now? Something more political is going on......
But this opinion is coming from Laura, the Distrustful Skeptic.
