Default Adm. Fallon to retire, War with Iran next

There has been talk for months that if Adm. William J. Fallon head of CENCOM Middle East retired early it would be because be has been dragging his feet with regards to preparing for war with Iran.

Now he has retired (or more likley was told to retire.) So if those rumors about what this means for war with Iran amount to anything some of you arm chair warriors will be getting a chance to die for Iranian oil pretty soon.

Hey maybe you can betray our soldiers in Iraq and send them off to die in Afghanistan simply to make yourself look tough..But Real Americans don't do that.

More like resigned. Over US policy differences.



Whether it means Bush gets to declare war on Iran, I dunno. I hope not. I like having fuel for my car.
