Centcom commander thwarted Iran attack?

[Adrian II]

Interesting story on IPS. It claims that last February Admiral (and then Centcom Commander designate) William Fallon sank a White House plan for agressive deployment of three carriers in the Gulf. Gates and Fallon seem to have contributed some much needed brain-power to this administration. Adrian II thinks this is a good thing. When the politicians lose their faith (or nerves), the experts take over, and in this case the expert is the real thing.

Rejoice.

Oh, and discuss.
