VanderhoofengoatenNavy Commander to lead a Ground War in Iraq
January 5th 2007 19:38
as i listened to the news that a Navy Commander, Admiral William J. Fallon will replace General John Abizaid at Central Command which looks after the Iraq and Afghanistan war, i was taken back.
well i guess i am the only crazy one around because no one else seems to care. Presidet Bush want an overhaul, and what what a overhaul this is!! i bet we will have another overhaul pretty soon.
i mean no disrepct to Admiral Fallon, his long military service is commendable and i wish him all the best.
this is what i found in wikipedia, "
Shore duties included assignment as Aide and Flag Lieutenant to the Commander, Fleet Air Jacksonville, and to the staffs of Commander, Reconnaissance Attack Wing One; Commander, Operational Test Force, and Commander, Naval Air Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet. He has served as Deputy Director for Operations, Joint Task Force, Southwest Asia in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and as Deputy Director, Aviation Plans and Requirements on the Staff of the Chief of Naval Operations in Washington, D.C. His first flag officer assignment was with NATO as Assistant Chief of Staff, Plans and Policy for Supreme Allied Commander, Atlantic. He was then assigned as Deputy and Chief of Staff, U.S. Atlantic Fleet followed by assignment as Deputy Commander in Chief and Chief of Staff, U.S. Atlantic Command. Adm. Fallon served as the 31st Vice Chief of Naval Operations from October 2000 to August 2003. He was the Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command and U.S. Atlantic Fleet from October 2003 to February 2005."
he has no experience on ground counter insurgency operations. he was deployed in first gulf war but the current war in iraq is hardly similar to that.
i will be holding my breath!!

I'm sure you know more than I do about it, but could we have an 'opposite' view, sometimes.
Always a challenger,
