Fallon Reemerges to Speak Out on Iran

In The Washington Independent, Spencer Ackerman reports: "In a roundtable Tuesday, Adm. William 'Fox' Fallon, the former commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East ousted for dissenting from the Bush administration's bellicose posture toward Iran, gave a rare public elaboration of his view of multilateral cooperation for security in the region. In one of his first public appearances after his abrupt departure as head of U.S. Central Command, Fallon said at the National Press Club that Gulf countries 'clearly recognize that the U.S. plays a strong leadership role,' and desire that to continue. Further, they ask the U.S. 'to be active' in the region -- though part of being active, he said, included the advice 'don't start a war' with Iran."

The war between the United States and Iran is on

By Scott Ritter

American taxpayer dollars are being used, with the permission of Congress, to fund activities which result in Iranians being killed and wounded, and Iranian property destroyed. This wanton violation of a nation's sovereignty would not be tolerated if the tables were turned and Americans were being subjected to Iranian-funded covert actions which took the lives of Americans, on American soil, and destroyed American property and livelihood.
