"Say nothing of my religion. It is known to God and myself alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life: if it has been honest and dutiful to society the religion which has regulated it cannot be a bad one."

Filed Under: Author: Amy Proctor, Iraq, Military
GEN David Petraeus was confirmed by the Senate as the new commander of Central Command in the Middle East (CENTCOM) while LT GEN Ray Odierno was promoted to 4-star GEN and confirmed to replace GEN Petaeus as Multi-National Force-Iraq commander in Iraq.
The Senate voted 95-2 for Petraeus and 96-1 for Odierno with Democratic Senators Robert Byrd and Tom Harkin opposing Petraeus, Harkin opposing Odierno.
While it’s unclear why Harkin of Iowa opposed the pair, D-WVa Byrd said he thinks Petraeus should finish the job in Iraq, saying:
“It does not seem prudent to remove the mastermind behind the fragile successes that have been thus far achieved.”
I suspect both Byrd and Harkin are pandering to their anti-war base, although it is true that Byrd has exhibited a complete lack of understanding military and counterinsurgency operations on the ground in Iraq.
