From Thinkprogress:
In January, President Bush replaced Abizaid and Casey, who were “surge” skeptics, with Adm. William Fallon and Gen. David Petraeus. This week, Petraeus — in the first public hearings since taking on his new role — delivered his Iraq assessment to great media fanfare. But where was his boss, Admiral Fallon? Inter-Press Service suggests animosity between the two might be one reason for Fallon’s absence:
Fallon told Petraeus [in March] that he considered him to be “an ass-kissing little chickensh*t” and added, “I hate people like that”, the sources say. That remark reportedly came after Petraeus began the meeting by making remarks that Fallon interpreted as trying to ingratiate himself with a superior.
Well, well, well..

Indeed...well said Chief. He doesn't pull any punches LOL
and Fallon was being kind.
At lease someone is speaking up for the truth. The two soldiers that did the op-ad for New York Times and told of how bad things are and how their in the Middle of the Iraq Civil War and how the Generals are lying for the White House. Well two of those soldiers were killed yesterday in Iraq. We heard them tell the truth on the same day we heard General Petraeus lied under oath for the White House.
Fallon called a spade a spade!
