Wondering that myself. I have to admit I'm relieved that Petraeus is taking over but isn't that a bit of a slap for being an outstanding leader?
If I were Petraeus, I would dread this duty.
I can’t imagine why Petraeus would accept the position unless he gets to tell Obama how things are going to be and then make the necessary changes. Does he have the option of refusing the move, or is he stuck doing whatever Obama wants him to?
