How can Abizaid command all those naval ships, aircraft that are giving support to the ground if he never flew a plane or commanded a ship?
Fallon appears to have MORE combat experience plus looks to have attended
more combat schools.
So your point is?

Well....lets see....My point is I Do Not Understand It. Thus...the question:
"I just don't get it...Do any of You?"
To which you were kind enough to lend your wonderful opinion, and demeanor. That aside, (though I do appreciate your input), I was questionong a descision to help me understand the logic behind it as it will in many ways affect combat operations, as well as inadvertently foreign policy depending on next weeks direction change.
If this was taken as Administration Bashing....it was not intentional, or at least not primarily. I just do not see the logic in removing the experienced team, and replacing it with a team not trained in the guerilla warfare currently taking place in Iraq. I suppose I am a bit worried this is about to escalate toward a more intense conflict, involving Naval technologies (cruise missle/bombing/etc....), with an eye toward Iran.
But, I did not intend to get you all pissy from a simple question....in fact I was sorta hoping for actual opinion, rather than knee jerking. But I suppose, if the president has lost confidence in his commanders, he does need to try someone new. Hope it works.
