据法新社及路透社报道,美国五角大楼在2004年8月19日宣布,布什总统提名现任空军装备司令部司令格雷戈里·S·马丁出任美国太平洋司令部总司令。时隔不到两个月,10月7日在美国参议院陆海空三军委员会会议后,白宫宣布收回对马丁的提名。据悉原因可能是因为马丁的部属涉入一桩同波音公司有关的采购丑闻,因此他的提名在国会遭到强大的阻力。这是自1997年以来,首位四星将军的任职提名未能在国会获得通过。对此,他没发表任何评论。但此举引起了各方的纷纷猜疑。
According to AFP and Reuters, the U.S. Pentagon announced on August 19, 2004 that President Bush nominated Gregory S. Martin, commander of the Air Force’s Armed Forces Command, as commander-in-chief of the Pacific Command. Less than two months later, on October 7, after the meeting of the U.S. Armed Forces, Armed Forces, and the Armed Forces, the White House announced the resumption of the nomination of Martin. It is reported that the reason may be because Martin’s subordinates involved in a procurement scandal related to Boeing, so his nomination in the Congress suffered a strong resistance. This is the nomination of the first four-star general since 1997, failed to pass the parliament. He did not comment on this. However, the move has aroused suspicion from all sides.
