#1 an assertion President B.O. had made before the Gay Paree terror attacks

Much like the Benghazi video assertion he, et al. made immediately prior to the election.

#4 The man's got a problem. Congress is the authenticating authority to the appointment of the chairman. He can fire, he can't keep anyone in the chair unless the Senate OKs. At this point it would become interesting if the chiefs don't fall in line. If he sacks the lot it may well precipitate an issue his agents can't hide in an election year. Given the regard the public has in its uniform military vs the rest of the government and MSM, it's not a fight I'd take on. Even if he sacks them, they remain on the payroll. Only Courts Martial can 'fire' them, and then, by the law, that can only be done by other uniformed personnel. With an election just a year away, those who execute the dirty work will themselves face the same venue shortly thereafter. May we live in interesting times.
