"WASHINGTON, Sep 12 (IPS) - In sharp contrast to the lionisation of Gen. 
David Petraeus by members of the U.S. Congress during his testimony this 
week, Petraeus's superior, Admiral William Fallon, chief of the Central 
Command (CENTCOM), derided Petraeus as a sycophant during their first 
meeting in Baghdad last March, according to Pentagon sources familiar with 
reports of the meeting.

Fallon told Petraeus that he considered him to be "an ass-kissing little 
chickenshit" 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."

"An embattled Adm. William 'Fox' Fallon has submitted his resignation as 
chief of U.S. Central Command and has asked to retire from the Navy, and 
Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced Tuesday that he has accepted that 
request.

 . .

Fallon, who has led the command responsible for all U.S. military 
operations in the Middle East and Central Asia since March 2007, was 
profiled in the current issue of Esquire magazine as having challenged the 
Bush administration’s position on Iran."
