The Sheik's Three Wishes

[Greyhawk]

Tea Leaves?

LA Times:

Gen. Norton A. Schwartz has a background in transportation and cargo flights. His nomination is seen as a message that the Air Force must focus on ground war needs.
Some details from his official bio:
He participated as a crewmember in the 1975 airlift evacuation of Saigon, and in 1991 served as Chief of Staff of the Joint Special Operations Task Force for Northern Iraq in operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. In 1997, he led the Joint Task Force that prepared for the noncombatant evacuation of U.S. citizens in Cambodia.
Not sure if that's the "ground war needs" the Times feels need focus or not.

But somehow quotes from Barack Obama's Minister of Defence have made it in to just about every news story on the topic:

Tony McPeak, the retired general who was Air Force chief of staff during the first Gulf War in the early 1990s, said in a telephone interview Monday that he welcomed the selections of Schwartz and Donley.
