Fallon, Replace With Commander More â€˜Pliableâ€™ To War With Iran &ldquo;Defense Secretary Robert Gates has called CENTCOM commander Adm. William Fallon â€œone of the best strategic thinkers in uniform today.â€ Fallon opposed the â€œsurgeâ€ in Iraq and has consistently battled the Bush administration to avoid a confrontation with Iran, calling officialsâ€™ war-mongering â€œnot helpful.â€ Privately, he has vowed that an attack on Iran â€œwill not happen on my watch.â€ .. Unfortunately, this level-headed thinking and willingness to stand up to President Bush may cost him his job.&rdquo;
