Can you hear the war drums?

When US Central Command's Chief Commanding Officer resigns due to disagreements with the White house over middle eastern policy namely in Iran, I start to worry.

An Esquire magazine article which reportedly led to the resignation of Admiral William Fallon states:

'Just as Fallon took over Centcom last spring, the White House was putting itself on a war footing with Iran. Almost instantly, Fallon began to calmly push back against what he saw as an ill-advised action. Over the course of 2007, Fallon's statements in the press grew increasingly dismissive of the possibility of war, creating serious friction with the White House.'

'...well-placed observers now say that it will come as no surprise if Fallon is relieved of his command before his time is up next spring, maybe as early as this summer, in favor of a commander the White House considers to be more pliable.'

'If that were to happen, it may well mean that the president and vice-president intend to take military action against Iran before the end of this year and don't want a commander standing in their way.'

We cannot allow America's 'Imperial Grand Strategy' to continue via it's 'preventive' war policy. If America pursues war with Iran, I for one will be on the streets and at the American Embassy protesting America's continued disregard for international law and warmongering to suit its own ends.

The war drums are faint now, but their rhythm and speed grows. Will you question what you are told when the push for war comes?

Will you be there with me?
