Who Is An Ass-Kissing Little Chickenshit?

Admiral William Fallon, chief of the Central Command (CENTCOM) reportedly thinks Gen. Petraeus is "an ass-kissing little chickenshit" and that He (Fallon) "hates people like that".

Adm. Fallon apparently is not afraid to tell "The Decider" what he thinks.
He demonstrated his independence from the White House when he refused in February to go along with a proposal to send a third naval carrier task force to the Persian Gulf, as reported by IPS in May. Fallon questioned the military necessity for the move, which would have signaled to Iran a readiness to go to war. Fallon also privately vowed that there would be no war against Iran on his watch, implying that he would quit rather than accept such a policy.
Hey, I didn't say Gen. Petraeus is an ass-kisser. This is one of those Fox News instances. I report and you decide. I wonder how long Adm. Fallon will be in command of CENTCOM? Gen. Abizaid and Gen. Casey were both replaced by Bush because they were "surge skeptics".

On another note, Sen. James Webb has asked Sen. Carl Levin to call on Adm. Fallon to testify before the Senate Armed Services Comm. It seems Sen. Webb wants another "more independent" take on the Iraq War.
