My sense is that Abizaid has been told he's on the way out.
At the same time, hasn't he been there about 2 years? That would be what one would expect in terms of duration of command.
I'm betting that Schoomaker will also be shelved. In his defense, Gen Schoomaker took over after Shinseki was shelved, and it appeared no one wanted the role of working for Rumsfeld. Schoomaker's time should be just about up, too; and he came out of retirement to take the job.
Anyone who's seen too closely aligned with Rumsfeld will not get the job. My guess is that the command will go to some newly promoted 4 star who had 2 star time inside Iraq and kept his mouth shut.
