Is Petraeus going to follow the footsteps of Eisenhower?

He'd probably get my vote. ;-)

Even when General Petraeus is going to “win” Iraq, I do not see him as having political ambitions. He’ll rather retire to a quiet life on a farm or something.

I think Bush has found his Grant.

Gen. Petraeus has made things work where others have not, he'd get my vote.

An Army task force is looking into incorporating such reviews, known as "360-degree evaluations," into the "officer efficiency reports" that are now completed only by superiors,

I believe Petraeus's footprints are on this and hopefully it will be implemented, it will take some of the politics out of the system and reward those that can get the job done.

He is for sure the new Eisenhower.

Hopefully more like Patton. Ike ran WW2 like a politician.
