#1 To quote Fallon:

"What are the priorities, guys? Do you want to have a war? We can probably have one. But is that what you really want? Is that really in our interest? Because I don't think so."

If this was a serious statement the man is a buffoon of the first order. No one WANTS war; but if the alternative is surrencer / appeasement what are you going to do?

Would Fallon sell out Taiwan? How about SKor or Japan or Siberia or India?

This pacific nonsense always seems to be predicated on a belief that all the world will act according to US desires and therefore if there is a war it is always our fault.

Tell me, how successful have all those years of EU diplomacy been in cooling down Iran, hmmmm?

#2 A leader who resigns during a war.... who needs him or his commentary? You quit admiral, so why not just stay away.
