Fallon Resignation - Is America going to war with Iran?

Admiral Fallon's resignation is frightening. President Bush and his administration are totally out of control and it is a bad sign for Fallon to resign given the context. It is unwise to simply hope that it doesn't "mean anything" with regard to a totally outrageous, illegal and unthinkable act which could be catastrophic for God knows how many people. The act I refer to is being discussed matter-of-factly as "war with Iran."

How does Fallon get away with so brazenly challenging his commander in chief?

The answer is that he might not get away with it for much longer. President Bush is not accustomed to a subordinate who speaks his mind as freely as Fallon does, and the president may have had enough.

And this one, which seems to reflect something actually said by Fallon, however: "He's standing up to the commander in chief, whom he thinks is contemplating a strategically unsound war."

"The current issue of Esquire Magazine(get it here) portrays Fallon as the one person in the military or Pentagon standing between the White House and war with Iran.
