This is the Admiral Fallon who said that (roughly paraphrased) "as long as I am CENTCOM Commander, there will not be a U.S. attack on Iran."
This is a very bad development. Bush obviously wants to attack Iran. Once again, as was the case in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq, Bush is sweeping aside respected senior officers who oppose his maniacal plans for more wars of aggression.
More troubling, is that Defense Secretary Gates is playing ball with Bush. He was supposedly going to be a rational grown-up.
Short diary.

Hat tip to cotterperson for providing the link to the Esquire Magazine article that delineated Fallon's opposition to an attack on Iran.
