Why Did Bush Fire Fallon?

Yes, he did fire the man. If you don't think so, you're fooling yourself. At any rate, one wonders if Bush had to get rid of the man who was standing between him and shaping the media for an attack on Iran. The Washington Post weighs in. Here are six pieces of evidence the Bush administration might be laying the groundwork for war with Iran.

From the WaPo: It's still not really beyond Bush and Cheney to order a full-scale preemptive attack on Iran. But the more likely scenario is that there will be an asymmetrical U.S. response to a (possibly trumped up) Iranian provocation. And the most likely scenario is that the U.S. will encourage (or certainly not oppose) an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities -- which in turn would lead the U.S. to come to Israel's defense should Iran strike back.

I suspect that is a pretty good analysis.

See video: we need to get the word out as much as we can, stop war with Iran

tell everyone not to participate in an illegal act:
The uniform code makes it abundantly clear that it must be the Lawful orders of a superior officer. In fact it says, ‘Members of the military have an obligation to disobey unlawful orders.’ This principle was considered so important that we, the government of the United States, proposed that it be internationally applied in the Nuremberg trials.” - Senator Inouye, a decorated World War II veteran and hero
