Michael, that’s what made Fallon (as in “Fall On His Sword”) history. Of course, Gates, Bush’s bureaucrat-in-chief, lies:
“Gates described as ‘ridiculous’ any notion that Fallon’s departure signals the United States is planning to go to war with Iran. And he said ‘there is a misperception’ that Fallon disagrees with the administration’s approach to Iran.
‘I don’t think there were differences at all,’ Gates added.”
Sober-minded Bush watchers will no doubt observe that the Administration’s entire Middle East policy is “ridiculous.” So look far more of the same, and CheneyWar with Iran, coming to a theater near you.
