WASHINGTON - The nation's top two Air Force officials are resigning, and military sources told NBC News Thursday that they were being forced out.
At the White House, press secretary Dana Perino said President Bush knew about the resignations of Air Force Chief of Staff Michael Moseley and Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne, but that the White House “has not played any role” in the shake-up.
Moseley, a general, is the Air Force's top uniformed officer. Wynne is the top civilian official.

Oops.
The article later claims that they were given the choice between resigning or be fired.
So here we are, six months before a major leadership change, with all of those soldiers and Marines killed on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan, and we are shaking off the USAF leadership? What the hell was so wrong that they had to push out the top uniformed and top civilian officials of the service? It's not like they were asked to give their pilots rifles and rucksacks and send them to ride resupply convoys in Iraq.
It isn't about axing the F-117 as an excuse to free up funds and ask for even more funding for the F-22. So what else is left?
