Admiral Fallon Steps Down differs with Pres Bush ?


Admiral William Fallon, head of U.S. Central Command,
is stepping down by the end of March, because of perceived differences
on policy with the Bush administration, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said today.
Fallon held the post for almost a year as the commander of all U.S.
forces in the Middle East, with responsibility for the wars

Admiral Fallon reached this difficult decision entirely on his own,''
Gates told a news conference at the Pentagon. Gates said it
was a ``misperception'' that Fallon differed from the administration.
