    Greek defence minister sacks chiefs of armed forces

    Greek military leadership changes spark opposition outcry - Telegraph

    In a surprise development, Panos Beglitis, Defence Minister, a close confidante of Mr Papandreou, summoned the chiefs of the army, navy and air-force and announced that they were being replaced by other senior officers.

    Neither the minister nor any government spokesman offered an explanation for the sudden, sweeping changes, which were scheduled to be considered on November 7 as part of a regular annual review of military leadership retirements and promotions. Usually the annual changes do not affect the entire leadership.

      Preperations are underway to invade Turkey for Christmas.
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        Now I don't like the sound of that.
        Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

          It seems it's always an interesting day in Greece.

            When men dress up in frilly dresses and carry guns I get concerned.
