IF HE SAY'S IT, IT MUST BE TRUE

I understand why the right-wing propgoandists would give their right-wing propgoandist freinds garbage credence. Why in the world would a "progressive" site give anything the gop says validity? Makes no sense to me why you clinton backers fear the gop. Unless you are republcains, of course.

This is pretty consistent with a Salon article

a few months back (Greenwald?) stating that Bush had been convinced of the folly of attacking Iran. However, the rest of the neocons are gnashing their teeth for red meat and blood.

ESP

I suppose this is because Fallon has ESP, oh wait, he is pulling a CYA. Nice Adm Fallon, but I will ride this term out and see what Georgie does before believing you.

"Generals on the ground"

Hey, whatever the "generals on the ground" say, we'll do.

And if I don't like what they say, they will probably decide to retire or something. Then we'll put new "generals on the ground."

My theory

Check to see where Fallon's wife, children and pets are right now. I suspect they're currently being "held" in a "secure undisclosed location" and Fallon will say whatever he's told to say if he wants to see them alive again.

Well, do you feel lucky?

Sure, and he's not gonna shave until January 20. Hey, Iran: just do what he says, and no one gets hurt.
