Think Progress was one of the first websites to link to the new article:

Bush May Fire CentCom Chief Adm. Fallon, Replace With Commander More ‘Pliable’ To War With Iran

Now, of course, it's trumped up a little bit, and the difference in opinion with President Bush is what everyone's highlighting, but that's the nature of the beast. You know what Oscar Wilde said ;-)

Two best things about this post:

1. embedded flash video of the mention yesterday in the White House press conference

2. this highlight:

According to Barnett’s piece, Fallon also denied ever calling Petraeus an “ass-kissing little chickenshit.” He called the allegations “[a]bsolute bullshit.”

The “ass-kissing little chickenshit” part was alleged by Gareth Porter back in September.
