Bush's Expected Reappointment Of Pace To Make Him Longest Serving Joint Chiefs Chair

President Bush is expected to nominate Marine Gen. Peter Pace to serve a second two-year term as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, maintaining Pace's leadership during the increasingly unpopular Iraq war.

The move would keep Pace as one of the nation's top two military leaders for eight years -- longer than anyone else has served as chairman and vice chairman of the joint staff, since the top job was first filled in 1949.
