Expanded role puts Petraeus in charge of winning Afghan war By Carl Prine and Salena Zito TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, October 26, 2008
Fresh from the Baghdad battlefield, Gen. David Howell Petraeus is a blur amidst blurs in the bowels of the Pentagon, his staffers preparing new strategies and reassessing old ones for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. There's urgency to the bustle, because on Oct. 31 the former commander of Multinational Forces in Iraq takes over U.S. Central Command and inherits the counterinsurgency in Afghanistan, too.
Whether that Halloween promotion eventually earns him a trick or a treat depends on how well he steers what those in uniform call "Centcom." From its headquarters in Tampa, Fla., Petraeus' unified command bestrides 20 nations from Africa's Red Sea waters to the Asia's Himalaya Mountains. He will oversee the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan while he monitors potential trouble spots in Lebanon, Pakistan, Iran and elsewhere.
Under Centcom's sands are three out of every five barrels of the globe's oil. Across her seas roam Somali pirates and what Iranian leaders boast are suicide-bomb boats. The command confronts bumper crops of heroin poppies, disgruntled Muslim masses who produced the 9/11 terrorists and three wobbly democracies under siege in Beirut, Baghdad and Kabul.

wonder if Petraeus will stay on if O is elected.
If O is elected our only hope may be for Petraeus to undertake a coup-d’etat!
Just thinking he better do it quick before the group that ran that General Betray-Us ad get into power. [Sorry, feeling discouraged today.]
Did anyone hear that Patreus is not voting. He believes anyone in senior leadership in the military should not vote for their Commander in Chief.
I think that is a good stand. But, when he leaves I hope he takes a leadership role in the US in some capacity. Hell, even if he he turns out to be a democrat he would likely restore some honor to the party.
This gives me hope for total victory in Afghanistan—and I suspect, Pakistan. That means al Zwahiri will be gotten.
There's a good chance bin Laden is already dead.
The picture of Petraeus with all the medials will not come up for now.
So here’s a simple bump.
