Back a few weeks ago, I though I was a bit hard on our CDS in this post entitled "Nice bum, can I kiss it?" I stated that Ray should not defend the indefensible, especially when he has hit the height of his career, being the top military man in Canada.
Boy, have I got a lot to learn about politics and Ottawa.
This story in Tuesday's National Post mentions that Ray is the leading candidate for the top job in NATO.
Says Scott Reid, the PM's Communications Director "He is definitely a candidate for the chairman of the NATO Military Committee" and "We're offering him every support required".
Mystery solved.
Update: Why would you want a guy who cannot sort his own military out telling NATO members what to do?

Anyone above Major is a politician in training -a PIT. And mediocrity rises to the top. The ambitious get fed up and leave the military, the bold make a mistake and get dropped from the streamer list, and the stupid are weened out in training systems. So that just leaves one group left - the lazy political yes-men you wonder about....
