Top US commander Adm. William Fallon, whose views on Iran and other issues
have been contrary to the Bush administration, has stepped down.
"The current embarrassing situation and public perception of differences between
my views and administration policy and the distraction this causes from the
mission make this the right thing to do," Fallon writes in his letter of
resignation Tuesday.
According to US Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Fallon whose military command
was in charge of Iraq and Afghanistan resigned in the wake of a magazine article
that portrayed him as challenging George Bush on Iran policy.
