RJ Eskow asks (via The Smirking Chip): Where is Admiral Fallon, Petraeus’ boss, while his subordinate testifies to Congress?
Where is Gen. Petraeus’ boss?
Admiral William J. Fallon is the head of CENTCOM, responsible not only for Iraq but for all our current and potential military activity in the region. It’s well known in Washington circles that Admiral Fallon has a far more realistic view of the war, considers the “Surge” a failure (as do most security experts), and wants to substantially draw down our troop presence in Iraq.
So, yes, why isn’t Admiral Fallon testifying? And why haven’t the Democratic committee chairs requested he testify? Wouldn’t you like to hear what he thinks about Petraeus’ job performance?
Just asking.
