This is a Little Scary!

Posted : 3/11/2008 5:42:18 PM

Admiral Fallon has resigned. One of the items that is interesting and a little scary in the article is this:

Fallon was the subject of an article published last week in Esquire magazine that portrayed him as opposed to President Bush's Iran policy. It described Fallon as a lone voice against taking military action to stop the Iranian nuclear program.

I sure hope this does not mean they are getting rid of the one voice in order to take military action. I do think that one day it may lead to that with Iran, but I am not in any hurry about getting to that moment.

Thanks for posting this dgriego. It is very scary what our government is going to do. (And it won't matter one whit which party is in the White House.)

"Some will find it worrisome that the administration only makes a pretense of listening to its military commanders. I find it much more worrisome that there is nothing particularly "military" associated with most of the decisions we are making regarding Iraq, Afghanistan or Iran, and yet we continue to make a fetish of according the brass some superior understanding of the nation's needs."

Yup. It's a charade. Get rid of the Federal Reserve and everything will fall in line accordingly.
