Gen. Petraeus has been named as the next CENTCOM commander. All I have to say is, "Excellent choice!"
Read about it here.
Note that the Navy's stooges in Congress are already worrying that Petraeus will focus too much on land actions in Iraq and Afghanistan [which don't help the Navy come budget time] and will ignore the growing threat of China [which requires a naval buildup]. Pushing the Navy's line on China was Admiral Fallon's undoing. The Navy is getting nervous.
