Post by: RationalThought110 on March 11, 2008, 03:30:36 PM
He's annoyed with the Bush administration. 

What are his particular views on issues?

Why was he against Petraeus?   Did Fallon prefer generals Casey and Abezaid?

He resigned over difficulties from a recent article published that said he was the only thing stopping Bush from attacking Iran...so good that he is gone.
