He commented about it while doing an interview with NPR radio...

"It was the surprise of a lifetime. There was no explanation. I read something in the trades that implicated it was about money or something but apparently the contracts that we write and sign aren't worth the paper that they're printed on. And promises aren't kept. Good faith negotiations aren't always held up. You know, even friendships, people that you support...

I think that Don Cheadle isn't the right person for the role. I wish they would leave the war machine storyline alone.

Don Cheadle is one of my favorite actors, but i don't think he's right for the role of War Machine.

Do you know who's the best person to play jim Rhodes-- ROBERT DOWNEY JR.! Who else? Make it a dual role. Add a twist -- make them brothers. Watch Tropic Thunder and you'll see what I'm talking about! NOT!!!

Kidding aside. Terence Howard was perfect. And its really annoying in a franchise when there is no continuity. I really wish they reconsider.

I hope they reconsider too, though I think there are a few other actors out there that could have been better (can't remember his name but the guy who played Spawn would have been good) But Terence is much better the Don Cheadle, i can't see Don Cheadle as a Super Hero, maybe in role as the nerdy friend that would help a friend who a Super Hero with gadgets and stuff, but definitely not fighting villians. Keep Terence, Continuity is much more important then big names.
