Blog rumors & Adm Fallon: ought we be worried?

Citing an article in an upcoming edition of Esquire, several progressive blogs have expressed concern that Adm William Fallon may be prematurely replaced as CentComm Commander.

Recall, I've praised Adm Fallon frequently in previous posts for standing up to W by asserting that an attack on Iran will not take place "on his watch".

The following is from Think Progress, but you can find similar concerns expressed on AmericaBlog, or C&L.

Bush May Fire CentCom Chief Adm. Fallon, Replace With Commander More ‘Pliable’ To War With Iran
...
According to a new article by Thomas P.M. Barnett in the April issue of Esquire magazine (on newsstands March 12), Fallon may be prematurely “relieved of his command” as soon as this summer:

[W]ell-placed observers now say that it will come as no surprise if Fallon is relieved of his command before his time is up next spring, maybe as early as this summer, in favor of a commander the White House considers to be more pliable. If that were to happen, it may well mean that the president and vice-president intend to take military action against Iran before the end of this year and don’t want a commander standing in their way.

(See below, Iran NIE a game-changer... NOT!)

Stop the madness!
