The most senior retired military officer to back the presumed
Democratic presidential nominee, Sen. Barack Obama, says the first-
term U.S. senator will not give Sen. John McCain, a decorated war
hero, a pass on the issue of national security in the fall campaign.

"It doesn't take very long to uncover national security issues that
McCain is weak on," retired Air Force Gen. Merrill McPeak told The
Washington Times.

One does not need to search very hard among AF veterans to get
straight opinions about McPeak. It took almost two decades after his
retirement to begin to approach a return to normalcy.

For him to even suggest that Obama is stronger on national security
issues than McCain is ludicrous to a degree that boggles the rational
mind.

he was on Tektronix BOD while they went down the shitter;they are now
owned
by Danaher. He was also onboard for the closing of all but one of the TEK
Field Service Centers.(putting ME out of work..)

Tek had to close a profitable production line because they sold off the
division that made TEK-made ICs,and Maxim forced a last-time buy due to
low
volume of sales of those chips(they always were a "low volume" item
compared to typical IC lines).

I had warned the sales engineers years before the sale that such a thing
would kill TEK instruments in big demand.
