Middle East Commander Fallon Steps Down

NPR Programs: Morning Edition  Wed, 03/12/2008 - 4:00am

The commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East is resigning. Adm. William Fallon's decision to step down follows an Esquire magazine article suggesting he opposes President Bush's policy on Iran.

Falon has also differed with the administration by calling for more troops in Afghanistan and pulling some forces out of Iraq.
