Q Mr. Secretary, could this be described in Washington terms, I guess, as a shake-up?
SEC. GATES: No. I think this is an effort to do what I think is in the best long-term interests of the services and of the country, as well as the individuals involved.I think that -- as I say, my intent had been to renominate both General Pace and Admiral Giambastiani, but I think that the events of the last several months have simply created an environment in which I think there would be a confirmation process that would not be in the best interests of the country.
I'd like to know specifically what those events are.
