One of Bush’s top military leaders has resigned, purportedly because of a dispute over the administration’s Iranian war policy:
Josh Marshall suggests Fallon was “too sane” for the Bush regime:
Democrats believe Fallon — whose conflicts with the administration were covered in an Esquire article in this month’s issue — may have been pushed out in order to silence his criticism. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said, “I am concerned that the resignation of Admiral William J. Fallon, commander of all U.S. forces in the Middle East and a military leader with more than three decades of command experience, is yet another example that independence and the frank, open airing of experts’ views are not welcomed in this Administration.”
With the only halfways sane person out of CENTCOM we can expect an “airing” out alright…of Iranian guts that is.
If impeachment had been pursued, America would not be so bloodied, abused, and fallen. False flag on the horizon.
Time might tell why Fallon left, but I don’t think it was to silence him. Once retired, he will be able to say what he wants.
The neoCons are still so in love with their own bullshit that they think another invasion will get McCain elected.
“There will be more wars” and “100 years in Iraq is ok by me” are the talking points of the military industrial oil complex.
Hey Dredd, maybe we should add banking in that complex. Nah, it’s really a tiger with it’s own stripes running all this shit. HELLO America. Yeah Dick #3, so true!
I used to think, “Bravo” when these guys resigned because they disagree with the Bush regime. But, the more I think about it, they’re not helping at all! Resigning isn’t fighting the Bush regime, it’s just stepping down so the Bush regime can put in someone who can really do damage to our country. So, when all is said and done, these guys stepping down actually do MORE damage, because they allow a crony to be appointed to their position, as they sit by the sidelines and watch our country go down the shitter!
IE, “I’m stepping aside for someone to REALLY do some damage…as I sit and watch on the sidelines. And maybe write a book about it.”
I prefer good people in there, NOT stepping down, and fighting and arguing with them, and stopping them!
To me, all this “stepping down” is like if you’re witnessing a crime, and you “don’t want to be involved”…but let the crime continue, but you “don’t want to be a part of it”.
Sing it, Big Dan! You are exactly right.
He was pushed, just like this good cop who was pushed over a cliff, probably because “god” told preznit blush to do it.
Meanwhile, back in Amurka, McCain is not a strict constructionist nor a natural born citizen according to this lawsuit.
General Fallon was forced to become curator of the preznit blush liberry so you’ll want to be one of the first to make a contribution to this preznit’s legacy won’t you?
The Library will include:
As a retired Navy chief, I have to say that Adm Fallon has made me very proud. As far as the “fell or was pushed” question, I doubt there’s really any question. What Georgie doesn’t like, Georgie gets rid of.
And, BTW, Dredd, you should at least take the time and effort to get his rank correct. When you make such a glaring error as that, on something that’s so obvious and easy to get right, you reduce your own credibility to…um…oh, yeah – zero.
I was quoting preznit blush mr zero majoring in the minors. Clue murder is worse than farting. Pass along the word to your cellmates.
Bush actually called him “General?” That’s hilarious. What a jackass.
Anyone can take a joke and get so serious about it they show they have the sense of humor of penis cheney. Experts and bushies can make minor mistakes but it takes a navy chef to shit where you eat:
(CNN). And:
(CNN).
Who but a f**king dork would focus on a nat’s ass on a fly on an alligator swallowing a baby? Someone from BAH HA. The military f**ks people up, so f**k off you sick Amurkan trolls.
Find and locate a world court and prosecute the bushit administration and all their accomplices especially Democrats like Nancy Pelossi. Use all torture technics advocated by the bushit administration on the bush crime family and detain them without habius corpus as the fcking real terrorist that they are.
bush better hope he can escape to a foreign country or a cave with his buddy Bin Laden. Even if it comes down to the next rigged election and your peanut brain loser McCain who must have got brain damage after fighting in the last bullshit conflict of lies called Vietnam wins i’m gonna see you, cheney, rice, rumsfeld, rove, gonzalez, grossman & co (nuke sellers) etc in a prison cell where you all belong. Hope they throw pigs blood on you everyday. Greedy treasonous scumbag criminal destructive pirate losers will describe you in factually and accurately in US history books and a court of law.
Can’t wait until fall like FEDERAL WORLD TRADE TOWER BUILDING #7. Hope you murderous rusters fall before you can attack any other countries.
Hey GBD, I think with our nsa compromised congress the World Court thing is the way to go too! But, PLEASE no vengence, just stick to the eternal rule of law.
Tell you what. Every time I need information I will look you up to find out. So I don’t make the same mistake as Dredd
Oh … Oh. . wait.
You have no contact.
Actually the best way to deal with this is just SAY what the rank is. Just Make the correction.
Just Do it.
I officially give you your own personal, “JUST DO IT” card. You are welcome to spend it any time or all the time.
No need to attack the credibility of people. Rank’s can change. Humans make mistakes. My rank when I left the USAF doesn’t even EXIST anymore!!
I hear you Ancient however, it’s their pile of shit they created so i believe these treasonous destructors need to live in it for a while. I would love to prosecute or watch a seasoned intelligent lawyer of the people get these insulated fcks on the stand facing consecutive life sentences for ALL Americans and world citizens to watch on TV for their multiple crimes against humanity, the constitution, and their war against other species. In other words using anti-science to advocate accelerating Global Warming, changing the rules of US forestry so the people effectively no longer have a voice, a Congress directed by pres of senate cheney that reversed over 250 environmental laws and lowered over 400 health standards previously set, AND a plan to sell off the Western Federal wild lands and allow off road vehicle destruction.
Finally that dumb ace bastard McCain who is gonna represent the criminal rupublithug party deserves honorable mention before the next rigged election. He’s been showing commericals in Montana making jokes and complaining about 3 million spent to study their populations of isolated brown bears. While the actual figure McCain states is incorrect because it was 5 mill to count and verify the actual bear numbers, this fck has no problem spending billions and billions of US taxpayer dollars occupying a country that posed no threat to the US killing 1000’s of people to take their oil. While we know lies and the repeated excuse about ties to 9/11 were used to advocate the initial invasion of Iraq, this damaged soldier wants to remain there for the next 100 years by his own words. The following Washinton Post link is about a bear scientist involved in the study and people who disagree with his opinion that the bear study was wasteful.

BTW, my comment #5 to Dick #3 was in regards to his web site articles.
Hey GBD, I’m a biologist first and FOREMOST (already did my, you antibear LOSER dance), I just think science and religion DON’T happen to disagree. I don’t take the bible literally. I do take it to conscience though. Particularly, the New Testament, that old stuff people are stuck on, is just that, OLD. Except for those simple commandments.
And hey GBD, blow-your-face-off should be held to account by ALL PEOPLE he’s affected. That includes the WORLD.
Well just like all the rest of the Generals and Admirals etc that have been fired & retired the last 7 years, the ones that had at least some sense and enough self respect & honor to stand up to these treasonous bastards “Admiral Fallon” has no doubt fallen to the same fate so he could be replaced by some complete boot licking religiously insane lunatic member of the “Christian Embassy”.
This is because nobody is standing up to these criminals in numbers, all of Congress is totally complicit in ALL of the crimes committed the past 7 years, Congress is utterly worthless.
Fellow military personnel are not standing behind those few that refuse to abide by the naked nut bag Emperor, they just stand there while those few commit career sepaku.
We the People, ALL OF US are just standing around watching while those very few that stand up and try to stop what is happening get cut down one at a time.
We are all guilty of allowing this to happen and I personally am ashamed & embarrassed to be called American.
“”I just think science and religion DON’T happen to disagree. I don’t take the bible literally. I do take it to conscience though. Particularly, the New Testament, that old stuff people are stuck on, is just that, OLD. Except for those simple commandments.””
As for this, sorry but I have been Marine Biologist all my life (recently retired) and I can say without any doubt that Religion is diametrically opposed to Science.
The fundamentalist of any flavor are even diametrically opposed to factual reality.
These people don’t even live on this planet, their body may be here but their mind whats left of it is inhabiting some far off planet where their little sun god waved his magic wand and spewed a few choice words of Hebrew to magically create the Earth & the entire universe trillions upon trillions of stars, planets and even the space in between *poof*, the world they live in is full of demons & angels, talking snakes, giants & mythical beings of fairy tales.
The world they live in is under the total control of their supernatural sun god.
Science has no place in that world.
Those “simple commandments” btw are Jewish tenets not Christian and the Hebrews copied them from the Egyptian “42 Admonitions of Ma’at” written some 1000+ years before Judaism was even a sparkle in some bronze age Bedouins eye.
The NT is an Astrological Drama written in the old Pagan Passion play style, the majority of it was meant as a stage play to be acted out on stage which is why it was written in verses.
The main characters are all allegorical NOT “historical”.
Jesus = The SUN
John the Baptist = Aquarius
The 2 Fishermen = Pisces
Mary = Virgo
and so on, all characters in a play and all allegorical for solar/celestial deities.
This has been proven many times over with Archaeological evidence.
Fallon is really a Bushite. Chris Floyd settles the matter here: http://www.chris-floyd.com/cont...view/1448/135/
