Personal Note: I cannot support this. RandySF Jul 2023 #1

Joe has done so much good as president, gab13by13 Jul 2023 #2

Has President Biden released any statement... Think. Again. Jul 2023 #3

Nominated by The Pentagon. Tail wagging the dog, again. Alexander Of Assyria Jul 2023 #4

I see, thanks. Think. Again. Jul 2023 #5

the Pentagon has no control over this, it is the State Department, and Biden has sole discretion Celerity Jul 2023 #37

So why is it I have not found an article saying he was nominated by the Pentagon? Autumn Jul 2023 #18

Same pentagon committee that doesn't want Government to reveal pentagon intelligence on Alexander Of Assyria Jul 2023 #19

So it wasn't the Pentagon. It was Republicans on some committee and Biden is taking credit for it? Autumn Jul 2023 #23

The Pentagons resistance to the rule of law is well known, is scared as hell might Alexander Of Assyria Jul 2023 #31

Again. Do you have any link saying that the Pentagon nominated him? Any reputable link. Autumn Jul 2023 #33

I believe they are wrong: the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy is under the State Dept Celerity Jul 2023 #36

It's not a matter of being wrong. It's a matter of purposely posting false Autumn Jul 2023 #38

I was trying to be diplomatic with my words. I am dismayed that Biden nominated Abrams, as Celerity Jul 2023 #39

There are a lot of Republicans out there that could have been appointed instead of this Autumn Jul 2023 #40

Many ways the Pentagon leaders exert pressure on any civilian government...link to my thoughts... Alexander Of Assyria Jul 2023 #41

Non responsive. Post evidence that directly backs up your claim that the Pentagon nominated Abrams. Celerity Jul 2023 #42

Ofc Biden has final say! The articles are direct evidence of a pentagon hold. Alexander Of Assyria Jul 2023 #43

You still have not posted any evidence that the Pentagon nominated Abrams. Biden did, that IS the Celerity Jul 2023 #45

Randy, thank you. emulatorloo Jul 2023 #10

You could have looked, or kept up with the news, or DU, over the past 2 days muriel_volestrangler Jul 2023 #8

Muriel, I appreciate it. emulatorloo Jul 2023 #9

This Might Help ProfessorGAC Jul 2023 #11

Thanks for the tip! Will definitely give advanced a go. emulatorloo Jul 2023 #15

For the Record.. I hear you about Cha Jul 2023 #27

Same with my BIL. For a while I think it was his only news source and I had to talk him down a lot. emulatorloo Jul 2023 #49

So what's wrong with asking a question on DU? You don't have to... LAS14 Jul 2023 #25

It wasn't just a question, it was also an insult of Democracy Now muriel_volestrangler Jul 2023 #26

I don't find that source credible. They have brainwashed my brother-in-law over the years emulatorloo Jul 2023 #48

I didn't feel insulted by you at all, and it was good of you to thank for the links muriel_volestrangler Jul 2023 #50

More likely this is some kind of political swap. yardwork Jul 2023 #14

Not knowing what was sold to the devil or the price makes positive result speculation impossible. Alexander Of Assyria Jul 2023 #20

I trust Biden to be doing the best he can for us. yardwork Jul 2023 #24

Quite a lot is known about how odious Abrams is muriel_volestrangler Jul 2023 #28

In the list of things I'm worried about, this isn't hitting the radar screen. yardwork Jul 2023 #29

No. Just no. Autumn Jul 2023 #16

That's terrible. H2O Man Jul 2023 #21

First the cluster bombs... Xolodno Jul 2023 #30

ever since Ron Klain left Biden's advisors seem to be pushing him rightward on some (not all) issues Celerity Jul 2023 #35

Cluster bombs are criminal weapons. That American factories produce lower dud rate...isn't Alexander Of Assyria Jul 2023 #44

We agree on this. I also think that having an ex 4 star general as the Sec of Defense is not a good Celerity Jul 2023 #46

I wonder too. This and the cluster bombs is very disturbing and upsetting. liberal_mama Jul 2023 #47

Don't worry! Pentagon assures the horrified world that the weapons are beautiful and will Alexander Of Assyria Jul 2023 #53
