Writes Paul Craig Roberts: "If the neocons did not intend to attack Iran, there is no reason whatsoever for Fallon's resignation. The only reason Fallon mattered is that he was on scene to prevent the intended attack. To say he is out because of policy differences is meaningless unless the policy, about which differences exist, was intended to be implemented. An attack on Iran is clearly intended. Whether other forces can block it remains to be seen.
"With the economy sinking into depression and the unfolding demise of the dollar as world reserve currency, the attack on Iran will terminate the US as a world power. That is the silver lining in the insanity of this evil administration."
