The Esquire magazine portrayed him as resisting pressure for military action against Iran.

Fallon was one of the few to buck the stupid 'so-called strategies' that came from the White House. I read an article that suggested he would be pushed out because he didn't follow lockstep with Bush & Cheney. He didn't agree with "the Surge" and he didn't want to create more problems with Iran.
Bush, Cheney, Lieberman, McCain, Clinton and a bunch of the other neocons want a conflict in Iran..Go figure..:confused:
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" (http://www.suntimes.com/news/nation/789522,nuke021208.article)
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.

Frankly Iran scares me, and so did Iraq but it turned out Iraq was bluffing.

General Fallon
40+ years service didnt pull the Bush war mongering line-he had to go.

Lets face it, with that service record-what would he know.

I had the idea you were more for the phrase "silent but deadly" when applied to military political opinions.

Well, when Fallon didnt agree with the civilians voicing war rhetoric, I guess he had enough.

by 'civilians' do you mean the armchair quarterbacks in the white house or the talking heads in the media?

I have to ask, why has there been so little response to this post?
Am I just being paranoid ?
Again to repeat for the cheap seats or those that rode the short bus, this series of events spells trouble in my mind.
1) nukes flown across the US to the Iraq jump point and written off as an 'accident'... get real!
2)the Commander of Mid East operations and one of the few voices to speak up against attacking Iran resigns under pressure.

As underhanded and divisive as this administration has been to hire and promote only those that agree and follow lockstep with the freakin' delusional PNAC plan, why aren't more of you concerned by these events?:bombout:

The real reality is, PNAC is brainwashing AFN through the use of subliminal messages embedded in the site's banner. Every time you look at the little globe, it sends messages to your brain to just forget all about William Fallon. Sometimes the messages change. They turned FT into the loon that he is just for fun. One time, Dick Cheney appeared to me as I was looking at it, and told me President Bush's war was perfectly defensible, WMDs were in Iraq, and Jimmy Hoffa's death was nothing out of the ordinary.

There has been so little response to this post because I didnt read it until now.

In answer to your question about 'civilians', I was referring to the politicians.

What you pointed out about the Nukes was a good.

now I know what the big concern was about.
