Head of US Military 'forced out'
Gen Peter Pace
Gen Pace has been criticised for his handling of the Iraq war
The US military's outgoing top commander, Gen Peter Pace, says he opposed the decision to replace him at the end of his first term.

Gen Pace said he did not resign voluntarily as he felt this would be "unacceptable" for him as a leader. "I've been told I'm done," he said.

His term as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is to end in October.

Washington said last week it would not seek another term to avoid a "divisive" confirmation process in Congress.
