Senator Kennedy On Fallon Resignation
By newsdesk - Posted on March 12th, 2008
March 11, 2008 -- WASHINGTON, DC— Today, Senator Edward M. Kennedy released the following statement in reaction to the resignation of Admiral William Fallon, Commander of the U.S. Central Command.
“It’s distressing that Admiral Fallon feels he had to step down. President Bush’s oft-repeated claim that he follows the advice of his commanders on the ground rings hollow if our commanders don’t feel free to disagree with the President. The last thing America needs is an echo chamber of top advisors, especially on all-important questions of war and peace.”
