Take a look at the closing of the Esquire article on Adm. Fallon. How prophetic!

"As before, there is the text and the subtext. Admiral William Fallon shakes his head slowly, and his eyes say, These guys have no idea how much worse it could get for them. I am the reasonable one.

And time will tell whether being reasonable will cost Admiral William Fallon his command."

2. Great article
That is a great article. I never knew those things about ADM Fallon. I'm happy that we have people who are willing to do what is right and who use their experience in war to work for peace. It's sad that the Bush administration is so single minded, they could lose a great naval officer.
