Don,,,, What did you expect him to say ?? It wasn''t that much diferent than any other exit speech from others that where forced out for opposing policies.. He''s made several comments opposing policies of this administration & echoed by many military & foreign policy experts.

"I don''t believe there have ever been any differences about the objectives of our policy in the Central Command area of responsibility," Fallon said in his statement Tuesday, and he regretted "the simple perception that there is."

Pretty straight forward comment by Fallon.

Will be interesting to see the post retirement news conference.

exactly what they want to happen to oil prices

Touche.

While I will take some delight in watching those morons who bought SUVs as big as school buses have to pay a couple hundred dollars to fill the tank (I walk the 1/2 mile to the train into work each day) it frightens me beyond words what will happen in the short and long run.

I am convinced that Russia and China will step off the sidelines to defend their ally Iran. The Shias will rise up in Iraq. Opposition to the mullahs in Iran will be crushed as the nation rallies around them. I believe there are sleeper cells in the US that will waken and carry out devastating attacks at home and abroad.

I believe there is a good chance an attack on Iran will result in chaos, death and misery not seen since WWII. And the people of the US will not go untouched.

Ahh the Nazi-Republican party. Either you follow us or your un-patriotic. Follow us or your the enemy. Follow us and follow our moral outlines, only don''t ignore them like we do.

JERSupporter,,,, I think you can believe Obama & Hillary both on Iraq & Fallon & many generals on Iran.

Somewhere between 20,000 to 80,000 troops will remain in Iraq for quite some time.... It took us over 2 years to leave Iraq in the 1st Gulf War & that lasted what, 20 days ??

The cost of the Iraq war? Let''s look at some stats:

$275 million per day
$4,100 per household
Almost 4,000 U.S. soldiers killed and more than 60,000 wounded
700,000 Iraqis killed and 4 million refugees

What is going to happen if the maniacs in the White House attack Iran? You think that Iran can''t inflict pain and suffering on the US? What will happen to oil prices? What if attacks like 9/11 began to happen on a weekly basis? What if IEDs started turning up on US highways?

A war with Iran would (likely) help the GOP this fall, and don''t think these cynical monsters won''t do it to help their party and carry out their warped agendas.

If the Dems sit back and watch it happen then to H3LL with them too.

Well Bushit still has the General Pet.

Yes, it''s darned embarrassing when you claim to be "listening to the commanders in the field", and the commander in the field tells you something you don''t want to hear.

Like God didn''t appoint George Bushit as president.

j-whitman - what surge? I thought the US was withdrawing because the Americans voted the democratic congress in 2006? Are you telling me they havent done what they promised? That cant be true. They promised - UtOh - Obama is promising something? What do I believe?

None, today is more evidence of the surge collapsing.

Posted by j-whitman at 02:32 PM : Mar 12, 2008

Well, Iraq has actually just become your standard quagmire. It''s costing the US taxpayers billions monthly and it''s still killing US servicemen almost daily.

The rightwingers are basically destroying the nation. But their pride and arrogance seems to matter more to them. They will watch as the nation swirls around the toilet bowl rather then admin this was a mistake and begin to change course.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass. - he has never even visited Iraq should keep his f''''''ing mouth shut. Have another gin and tonic you alcoholic. And take your loser prototype (Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass) with you.

If the Bush administration makes ANY move against Iran the Dems should immediately impeach both GW and Cheney, then prepare to pay reparations to Iran and meet with Russia and China to explain what course of action the US is taking.

Either that, or we unleash WWII, basically.
