Don,,,, Fallon is right about Iran, we will not attack it.

Gates is trying to establish a coordinated regional strategic defense against Iran, not attack it.

J, you sound like you are hoping.

Even Angelina Jolie said it was better so we know now.......

Don,,,, You might start watching more news pal... It''s an accumilation of data points from commanders on the ground warning of a change of tatics we''ve seen during the worst part of the Iraq War of Roses.

This is the critical news CBS needs to consistently report not the puff. Thank you.

J, I think we will here from the horse''s mouth on the "retirement". That will be the definitive position.

J, on the deaths, you are taking single data points and extrapolating again.

Don,,,, It was a political firing,,,,, The situation in Iraq is nothing what McCain or this administration says it is. Many of his comments was also echoed by other senior milary commanders including SECDEF Gates.

12 soldiers die in 3 days; rise in deaths cast doubt on ''surge''

J, you got to start calming down in the afternoons or work on reading skills.

The comment is a quote from him. Nothing more.

In the past, many senior officers have retired "so" they could speak freely.

There has been a lot of free wheeling journalism about whether the guy was forced out and whether he vigorously opposed any administration plans.

I suspect we will know truth in a few weeks. Someone will be disappointed.

[j-whitman]

Don,,, You seem to be following the GOP example of only taking part of what''s known & claiming it''s the only truth.

[donbl1]

J, it will be interesting to see if his "retired" comments are any different than the quote from him in this article.
