Fallon resigns

Does this mean Bush and Cheney intend to attack Iran before the elections?

Admiral William Fallon is out as CENTCOM commander.

Fallon has resigned, according to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, in a press conference at the Pentagon.

Actually, sorghum crow, I read (where? sorry; can't remember) that Fallon himself disclaimed that alleged quote. But when the Bushists get to the point of removing the commander of CENTCOM, it can't be for purposes we would consider good. As you said... crap, crap, crap.

I caught that quote here. But even if he's disavowed the statement, he's having to leave because he's not enough of a 'yes man'?

What the hell does that mean?
