Central Command Commander, Admiral William Fallon is resigning. His resignation comes just days after he was asked about an Esquire Magazine article in which he is critical of the Bush Administration.  Fallon has been known to be an ardent opponent of attacking Iran.

Meanwhile, as Congress considers President Bush's request for an additional $108 billion to continue the war and reconstruction effort in Iraq, questions have been raised in regard to the waste, fraud, and abuse of resources. The Senate Committee on Appropriations held a hearing today to address the issues of money and accountability of the military, private contractors, and the Iraqi government.
