It is lonely at the top... Ace Of Spades, Hot Air, Yahoo! News and The NY Slimes...
In an Esquire article published last week, it has been said that Admiral Fallon is the only one standing between the United States and war with Iran. I don't think so but that is the way he is being portrayed.
It is also common knowledge that Fallon and Gates weren't on the best friends lists at Christmas Time either. ALLAHPUNDIT is looking for updates...
Consider this an Official Moonbat Alert...
Fallon is also said to be not such a great fan of Petraeus either...
In other news, the WaPo did a write up on the Esquire piece and another bloke, Patrick Lang, said that Adm Fallon would step down before following orders he thought to be wrong. Like I said, this is an Official Moonbat Alert!
From Esquire (not a bastion of conservative news, mind you):

Well, that didn't take long...Libtard Swampland chiming in already...
Catch the melee at Memeorandum...via NY Slimes...

From Esquire (not a bastion of conservative news, mind you):
As head of U. S. Central Command, Admiral William "Fox" Fallon is in charge of American military strategy for the most troubled parts of the world. Now, as the White House has been escalating the war of words with Iran, and seeming ever more determined to strike militarily before the end of this presidency, the admiral has urged restraint and diplomacy. Who will prevail, the president or the admiral? [...]When did President Bush threaten war? Chapter and verse please...
WaPo:
[...] Fallon has previously made it clear he has differences with the Bush administration's foreign policy. Some White House aides were said to be unhappy with his decision to dump "the long war" as a phrase to describe U.S. efforts against terrorism. In addition, some White House officials were irked by the persistent friction between him and Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq. Fallon and Petraeus are known to have disagreed about plans and troop levels in Iraq, but Petraeus, even though technically subordinate to Fallon, appears to have more influence with Bush. [...]AH! I see through the glass darkly now...Moonbat Alert!
Non-Party Politics:
[...] Fallon told Petraeus that he considered him to be "an ass-kissing little chickenshit" and added, "I hate people like that", the sources say. That remark reportedly came after Petraeus began the meeting by making remarks that Fallon interpreted as trying to ingratiate himself with a superior. [...]Power struggles at work? Go figure! MOONBAT ALERT!! I smell a disgruntled soldier thing coming...
Ace:
[...] Fallon took command of CentCom (the command responsible for both Iraq and Afghanistan) a few days less than a year ago.Duly noted, thus, The Moonbat Alert...
Expect Democrats to have a field day with this. [...]
[UPDATE(s)]
Well, that didn't take long...Libtard Swampland chiming in already...
Centcom commander Admiral William Fallon has resigned. This is why you should care: [...]The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Damn moron libtards...
