Fallen is the genius who recently signed an agreement with the commander of the Canadian Army under which each nation will send military personnal to the other nation in case of a domestic emergency. No he's not. Canada isn't in USSOUTCOM's AOR. Gene Renuart, commander of USNORTHCOM signed.
Everybody take a breath.

Did you agree with Reagan on bombing libya?

No, that was U.S. Air Force Gen. Gene Renuart, commander of USNORTHCOM, and Canadian Air Force Lt. Gen. Marc Dumais, commander of Canada Command, who signed that agreement.

Yes, I am SURE about that.
The Army guys have been p.o.’d that Petraeus had to report to an admiral. There has been much discontent among the Army brass because a navy guy is in charge. For the past year they’ve been feeding bad information to the media.
Everyone I know who has worked for Fallon (except army guys) thinks the world of him.

"It's true, Fallon is gone and the RATS in Iran are starting to wonder if the strike is near."Serendipity!

It was interesting though how long Truman put up with McArthur in the era of Korea.

Fallon allowed himself to be perceived above his Commander in chief.
That is a NO NO.

That doesn’t mean the “decider” can’t be wrong, or make serious mistakes.

"under which each nation will send military personnal to the other nation in case of a domestic emergency."Because Posse Comitatus is such a pesky little detail...

Voted twice for W... I bet you did. Did you vote for only republicans for 50 years? I did. How old are you? You sound like like 16 when you make snide remarks like that.

"Being an Admiral, he may have some concern about all OUR SHIPS (and Sailors etc.) stuck in the Persian Gulf.. I, for one, was/am happy he was there. I don't want war with Iran, either."I do. They are about a -0 threat to the USN. Bush has already clearly stated that he 'will not leave Iran to his successor'.

I got the name incorrect but the agreement was signed. I wrote both of my U.S. senators about the agreement.
If MEXAMERICANA is to exist one must be able to move troops as needed to put down the domestic emergencies.

Everyone working for Hillary thinks in the same manner.
To: gondramB
Only a few days ago I read an article that said that if Fallon were to suddenly resign then it would be a sure sign that an attack on Iran was being planned...
