Does Fallon's "resignation" portend war with Iran?

<p>Interesting article in Esquire last week speculating about Fallon being replaced by the Bush administration to make way for war with Iran. I hope they’re wrong. </p>

<p>I sincerely hope not. :(</p>

<p>How realistic is it to believe that Bush can wage war on Iran without the approval of Congress, and that of the American public? We certainly know that he won’t be getting the support from either front any time soon, unless there occurs another major terrorist attack that can be irrefutably traced back to Iran’s government and it’s revolutionary guard.</p>

<p>we’re not going to war with Iran save an Iranian strike against the US. Anyone who thinks otherwise is borderline irrational. Not today, not in these circumstances, not with the current “atmosphere” in the United States.</p>

<p>since we don’t have the personnel nor material for this, would be sort of interesting.</p>

<p>I think all this meant was that, as typically the case with “W”, Cheney et. al., if you utter a word contrary to the Administration position your continued employment expectancy is about 24 hours. This admin is and has always been about blind loyalty and mindless obedience.</p>

<p>So, Bullwinkle, Do you think that the characters that we have leading us, care more about their JOBS or care about their voicing their opinions?</p>

<p>What do you think, thisyoungman?</p>

<p>Fallon resigns last week and now Cheney is making the rounds of the Mideast capitals…I think there is war afoot with Iran…not a ground invasion mind you but probably a missile strike at their nuclear facilities probably within the next 60 days…just my two cents</p>

<p>They tried to minimize the “Iran” aspect of the Fallon story after it initially broke by saying he resigned because he thought the drawdown of troops from Iraq was not fast enough but I am not buying it.</p>
