Head of US Central Command Resigns Over War With Iran

Email This

Admiral FallonThe top US military commander for the Middle East has resigned. Admiral William Fallon had argued strongly against war with Iran. Now he’s quit as head of the Pentagon’s Central Command. Coincidence?

Not according to Admiral Fallon. In a statement released from his office in Tampa, Florida:

"Recent press reports suggesting a disconnect between my views and the President's policy objectives have become a distraction at a critical time and hamper efforts in the CENTCOM region," Fallon said.

"And although I don't believe there have ever been any differences about the objectives of our policy in the Central Command Area of Responsibility, the simple perception that there is makes it difficult for me to effectively serve America's interests there.”

 

 

Where are all the people?

I do not understand why there is so little traffic ivaw.org and many of its yourtube videos. All human beings are equal... we are just as susceptible to atrocities as were the germans and russians. By now everyone knows this war was the result of a few misguided ideologues. The products of a democracy that keeps idiots at the top of power and reflects the ignorance of the masses. Everyone in the military is part of a hierarchy whose sole purpose is to do what they want. Whether is is ridding the world of "evil" or some other well intentioned stupid ass idea, people in the military are not fighting for america, they are inadvertently destroying america via economic collapse.
