Petraeus to leave Iraq War command post

Gen. David Petraeus, the top commander in Iraq, has been tapped to become the next U.S. Central Command chief.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates made the announcement at the Pentagon that Petraeus, who has been given much of the credit for the dramatic drop in violence in Iraq, would succeed Adm. William Fallon as the top commander in the Middle East and will oversee both the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The position is based in Tampa, Fla.

I was very disappointed to see the administration push our Admiral Fallon. He was a voice that understood the complexity of the entire region. However, his candid and forthright approach did not lend itself well with this Administration. Which leads to my concerns about Petraeus. Does he and will he address the real issue or will he be another puppet of this administration? My guess is the first time he strays from the administration's agenda, we will see his resignation.
