Anti-Iran War Centcom Commander Resigns
Admiral William "Fox" Fallon, the U.S. Centcom commander who has spoken up several times at Congressional hearings and to the press the past year to suggest a military confrontation with Iran would be ill advised, has resigned, Defense Secretary Robert Gates has just announced. Fallon was the subject of a flattering Esquire profile by military analyst Thomas P.M. Barnett this month - a piece that highlighted tensions between Fallon and the White House over his outspoken statements. Earlier today, NBC's Pentagon correspondent Jim Miklaszewski reported:
The Pentagon sharks are circling CENTCOM Commander Adm. William "Fox" Fallon for a magazine interview in which he appears to openly criticize President Bush on the administration's Iran policy. The very public comments raised speculation Fallon would either volunteer or be forced to resign. ...
Asked on Monday whether Defense Secretary Robert Gates still has full confidence in Fallon, Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell would only say that Fallon "still enjoys a working – a good working relationship with the Secretary of Defense."
Although reporters did not specifically ask about a possible Fallon resignation, Morrell freely offered, "Admiral Fallon serves at the pleasure of the president." That's not exactly a ringing endorsement, but far from a political death knell.
Now we know that it was.
"As I say, the notion that this decision portends anything in terms of change in Iran policy is, to quote myself, 'ridiculous,' " Gates said.
Nevertheless, it is quite a signal for the White House to send to aides and in particular to the military to keep their thoughts on policy to themselves -- a concern voiced by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. "I am concerned that the resignation of Admiral William J. Fallon, commander of all U.S. forces in the Middle East and a military leader with more than three decades of command experience, is yet another example that independence and the frank, open airing of experts' views are not welcomed in this Administration," Reid said in a statement.
Can anybody say "Eric Shinseki?"
Fallon was one of the few to buck the stupid 'so-called strategies' that came from the White House. There have many articles that suggested he would be pushed out because he didn't follow lockstep with Bush & Cheney.
Bush, Cheney, Lieberman, McCain, Clinton and a bunch of the other neocons want a conflict in Iran..Go figure..
The series of events that have unfolded that have me worried started when they 'accidentally' flew live nukes from Minot AFB in North Dakota over the US(as opposed to around the coastline)straight to Barksdale AFB in Louisiana which they use as the Iraq jump point.
That 'accident' should have been the "wake up call".
Our army is not strong enough to support another invasion, so what are the options if war is your prime directive.
I think the neocons will have no compunction about using nukes in Iran.
The Jewish Facists demanded his resignation, so America will eliminated the Iranian threat to Israel.
U.S. AND ISRAEL TO BOMB IRAN,
On September 5 2008, CIA operatives and Israeli agents of the Mossad Put into operation
a joint covert operation to send these operatives into into Iran to set the RQ1 Predator
Unmanned missile electronic vector beacons to guide the unmanned drones to their specific
military targets in Iran. But at the last minute the directives were changed to set some
beacons to residential areas in Iran. My name is
David Moscoco I am a Nigerian national working in Orlando Florida for the racetrac
corporation , My intelligence was promised to the CIA and the Mossad as I have
topographical and geographical knowledge of Iran working there in the nineties as a
Geologist. I was betrayed by this last minute decision of the operative command to
put the electronic beacons in the residential areas of several non military cities of Iran.
I assume the purpose of this is to terrorize the Iranian People into submission.
I know it will be explained after the attack that the innocent civilians killed
in Iran is accidental collateral damage. I am openly revealing this operation because
I cannot live with the fact that innocent civilians will purposely be killed for terror
effect. In doing so I have put my life and that of my family in jeopardy as I know the
Bone Men I have Betrayed will come for revenge against me an my family. I reveal this
knowing of the consequences but I cannot live with the decision of innocent people
genocided. I pray my soul will be vindicated and the dead from this purposeful
annihilation will forgive me in the world to come.
David Moscoco
David, it appears to some that Israel is the modern day successor to the Third Reich as evidenced by their moves against their neighbors and their policy of genocide against the Palestinian people. It is said that Americans need to wake up to the situation. No more wars for Israel. It is too bad that Americans are more concerned about reality TV shows. It reminds me of the Romans and how the Emperor would give them coliseum shows to entertain them and take their minds off of the endless wars for empire.
