	kearby citation
		George Kenney described Neel Kearby as short and slight, but in the air he was a giant among fighter pilots.
		George Kenney was, "Who has shot down the most Japanese planes?" Kearby aimed to become the leading ace in the Pacific, but that goal would have to wait a while.
		Kenney advised Kearby not to get in a race with Richard I. Bong, who was soon to return from leave in the States, but to be satisfied with one enemy plane in each engagement.

	Our House
		Kenney, coming from Philadelphia, is especially well-equipped to deal with this committee," says Stephen Drachler, a spokesman for the Republican house leadership.
		Kenney says his committee is likely to focus first on what steps the state can take to help renew troubled city neighborhoods across the state.
		Kenney, for instance, is replacing State Rep. David Argall, who hails from the sprawling Schuylkill County metropolis of Tamaqua.

	Lieutenant General George Churchill Kenney - Commanding General of the 5th Air Force
		George C. Kenney was born in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, on 6 August 1889.
		George C. Kenney rolled his famous good luck dice today before his Fifth Air Force struck a sledgehammer blow at Japan's key base of Rabaul, New Britain.
		Kenney has carried the tiny dice ever since a Catholic priest in Paris gave them to him in 1917, and told Kenney they would always bring him luck provided he did not use them to make money.

	Philadelphia Daily News \| 10/23/2006 \| Dems claim 'momentum' in quest for Pa. House (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Republican State Rep. George Kenney was elected from his white, middle-class district in the far Northeast with the Reagan re-election landslide of 1984, and in the 22 years since, he hasn't had a serious challenge.
		Kenney said he would favor a citizen-led effort to reform legislative practices and decide issues such as pay raises, and he said he favors limiting handgun purchases to one a month.
		Kenney is struggling in part because the district, which was majority Republican when he was first elected, is now 54-percent Democratic.

	WW2DB: George Kenney
		General George Churchill Kenney was born in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1889 while his family was on vacation there.
		Arnold knew Kenney was the engineer that would always come up with clever solutions to make things work, but Kenney's outspoken personality was perceived as something that might clash with MacArthur's ego.
		Kenney deeply believed that air power was to change the face of warfare, and his creativity in air force deployment set the prime examples for the need to change military doctrine.

	Critique of Kenney
		I will discuss Kenney's confused notion of "unique genocide" in a posting dedicated to the difference between genocide as a term for a kind of systematic atrocity and the Holocaust as a term for a single unique genocidal event.
		As one who had admired Kenney for his decision to resign from the State Department because of its refusal to speak truthfully and act effectively in the Bosnian tragedy, it is disillusioning to see him using such insinuations.
		Kenney's insinuation reduces itself to the notion that NATO is a racist institution dedicated to the survival of white people.

	The Genius of George Kenney
		Kenney probably faced his greatest challenge in the Pacific in the period 1942-43, and he had limited resources to meet it.
		Kenney made several trips to Washington, always keeping in mind the need to balance his loyalty to Mac-Arthur, as theater commander, with his loyalty to Arnold, the AAF boss.
		Kenney's concept was to hurl the very-long-range bombers against the oil refineries at Palembang, Sumatra, and Balikpapan, Borneo.

	MacArthur's Airman
		He depicts Kenney as a staunch proponent of air power's ability to shape the outcome of military engagements and a commander who shared MacArthur's strategic vision.
		He tells how Kenney played a key role in campaigns from New Guinea to the Philippines; adapted aircraft, doctrine, and technology to the demands of aerial warfare in the southwest Pacific; and pursued daring strategies that likely would have failed in the European theater.
		Kenney is shown to have been an operational and organizational innovator who was willing to scrap doctrine when the situation called for ingenuity, such as shifting to low-level attacks for more effective bombing raids.

		Kenney's bill also would require the Pennsylvania Department of Health to provide on its Web site a printable list of this information and update it every three months.
		Studies have estimated that 20 percent of pregnant women suffer from prenatal depression, and 12 to 16 percent of new mothers experience a major depressive episode during the postpartum period.
		Kenney added that his legislation is especially timely, considering that this week is National Women's Health Week, and the month of May has been designated as National Mental Health Month.

	Kenney and Friedman on Bosnia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		George Kenney was the first State Department career employeed to resign in protest over Western complicity in the genocide carried out againt Bosnians by the regime of Slobodan Milosevic.
		Kenney argues, through Friedman, that Bosnian Muslims should be confined to a small enclave in central Bosnia (what is an effect another European ghetto for non-Christians), and peace declared.
		Kenney's plan would abandon the Bosnian people to an unviable and indefensible enclave surrounded by a the Serb army which has displayed itself before the world at Srebenica.

	JFACC Evolution — Kenney
		Kenney’s vision, organizational skills, understanding of sister service operations, and personal relationship with MacArthur helped him take the offensive and set the pace for the overall joint campaign in the theater.
		Given complete and acknowledged command and control of all Southwest Pacific area Army Air Forces, Kenney reorganized, reallocated resources, streamlined logistics, and devised an air campaign that was the critical element in MacArthur’s island-hopping strategy.
		Kenney’s familiarity with and competence in Army and Navy matters proved indispensable for planning and fighting joint campaigns.

	Online NewsHour: Bosnian Serb President Radovan Karadzic -- July 1, 1996
		George Kenney was the State Department desk officer for Yugoslavia until he resigned in protest over the Bush administration's policies in 1992.
		I quite agree with George Kennedy that the alternatives are not good, but I would still insist that there are real distinctions to be made, for example, between the Bosnian Serbs around Banja Luka, people who are largely loyal to President Milosevic in Belgrade, and to the people in Pale, who remain loyal to Karadzic.
		I don't disagree with George Kenney, that it may well be more important to the international community than to the average Bosnian.

	TIME.com: Pilot's Brass -- Oct. 31, 1949 -- Page 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		General Kenney Reports is essentially a fighting man's story, the day-to-day record of jobs to be done, the planes sent up to do them, U.S. and enemy losses.
		But in at least one respect, brusque George Kenney is more forthright than any of the high brass have been in books far.
		Writes Kenney: "I told him that I was running the Air Force because I was the most competent airman in the Pacific and that, if that statement was not true, I recommended that he find somebody that was more competent.

	Brendan F. Boyle for State Representative
		Kenney attempted to justify his use of our money to pay for his campaign commercials by labeling them “public service announcements.” But don’t let him fool you.
		It is no coincidence that 19 of the 22 incumbents who star in these commercials face re-election challenges, many of them fighting for their political lives.
		Kenney to do the right thing: to reimburse the taxpayers $41,208 for this wasteful spending.

	George Washington High School is mulling independence
		The June 21 meeting was scheduled by state Rep. George Kenney (R-17Oth dist.), according to Beth Gaydos, press secretary for the state Department of Education.
		Some school sources suggested that the independent-school movement at Washington is a convenient cover for a plan to gain further control over enrollment and limit the number of minority students.
		Kenney predicts that any real movement on the idea is still at least a year away, but said, "If a plan makes sense for the community, students and teachers, I will endorse it."

	Ennis Clement Whitehead, Lieutenant General, United States Air Force
		He remained Kenney's close associate for the remainder of the war, receiving promotion to Brigadier and then Major General in march 1943, assuming command of the 5th Air Force in June 1944.
		In addition, although Kenney has received credit for such innovations as skipbombing, parafragbombs, nose cannons in medium bombers, and the use of mass troop transport, Goldstein argues that it was Whitehead who actually pioneered them.
		He was disgusted by the appointment of Hoyt Vandenberg rather than Kenney as chief of staff in 1948 and was outraged when the new chief quickly relieved Kenney as commander of Strategic Air Command.
