Fallon on Petraeus


I was very surprised to hear that there was another “Iraq report” in the works and it was being developed by Petreaus’ superior, Admiral William Fallon, chief of the Central Command (Centcom). Why haven’t we heard of that report?

I suppose it might be because Fallon called Petreaus "an ass-kissing little chickenshit". There are multiple reports on this story but I liked the one from the Asia Times though the Washington Post broke it.

What happened to the chain of command?
