0218-07President Bush nominated Marine Corp General Peter Pace to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.  If confirmed, General Pace would be the first Marine Corp General to serve as the nations top military officer.  General Pace would replace General Richard Myers as chairmen.

"The first thing America needs to know about Pete Pace is that he is a Marine," Bush said. "To the American people, 'Marine' is shorthand for 'can do.' And I'm counting on Pete Pace to bring the Marine spirit to these new responsibilities."

Note to the Democrats, as the President says,  General Pace is a Marine that means in the past he might have yelled at a few people from time to time.  Hopefully his confirmation will not be the spectacle like John Bolton’s.
