Verbatim
Bull-Free Zone “The only thing that will make [President Obama] angry is ... if we are not straight with him, if we don’t tell him what is on our mind. In other words, if we don’t offer him our best military advice. I know with certainty that each of us have taken that mandate to heart.” —Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz, discussing a takeaway from the first meeting of the Joint Chiefs of Staff with President Barack Obama on Jan. 28, 2009, during a meeting with reporters in Washington, D.C., Feb. 17, 2009. |
