Admiral Fallon resigns
« on: March 11, 2008, 03:30:36 PM »
He's annoyed with the Bush administration. 

What are his particular views on issues?

A few days ago he wrote an article saying he was the only one stopping Bush from attacking Iran,probably forced to resign.Also was against Gen Petraus

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.
