PACE TO BE REPLACED
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates announced today that the Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Peter Pace, is being replaced. Gates
has recommended chief of naval operations, Admiral Mike Mullen to the
position vacated by Pace. Gates indicated that he hoped the personnel
change would help to avoid a contentious Senate confirmation hearing
that could lead to unfavorable scrutiny of Pace's handling of the Iraq
war.
