"(General Norton) Schwartz has since risen up the ranks and on June 9 was appointed Air Force chief by Defense Secretary Robert Gates...With his appointment, Schwartz becomes the third Jew in the top ranks of the military, alongside Lieutenant General Steven Blum, who heads the National Guard, and General Robert Magnus, who is the assistant commandant of the Marines. Schwartz...was promoted to the rank of general in August 2005...Gates tapped Schwartz to be secretary of the Air Force. Schwartz’s Jewish identity did not go unnoticed after his appointment, particularly given the current military tensions with Iran. Press TV, an Iranian English language media outlet, wrote an article last week, titled 'U.S. Names Jewish as Air Force Chief.'"There have long been rumors that Schwartz’s predecessor, Michael Moseley, was opposed to a military attack on Iran. The appointment of Schwartz has prompted speculation in the Iranian press and on some blogs that the Bush administration is yet again seriously considering the military option to thwart Tehran’s nuclear ambitions."
