Nevertheless, Bush has been determined to stack the board with his loyal Bushies. Federal government employees are barred from serving on the board. But on Tuesday, the President announced that he was appointing Gen. Peter Pace to the PIAB. From the press release:
The President intends to appoint Peter Pace, of Virginia, to be a Member of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board.
Pace served as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Pace has been a consistent defender of the Bush administration’s failed policies, insisting in 2006 that everything in Iraq is “going very, very well from everything you look at” and claiming that Rumsfeld “leads in a way that the good Lord tells him is best for our country.” He also stepped in to write a letter during the Valerie Plame leak trial endorsing Scooter Libby’s character, specifically noting his “selfless” nature.

General Pace is one of the worse Military people we have today. He is not only a sick evil person but he is an out right liar and is just in the job for kick backs from the White House. It's so sad to see this top officals use our soldiers for greed.
Yes Jackie it is sad. Pace is a phony marine. Because a marine doesn't "lie, cheat or steal or tolerate those who do"
