[QUOTE="Scotth, post: 27941, member: 131"] [url]http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/04/23/petraeus/index.html[/url] WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, has been tapped to become chief of U.S. Central Command, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Wednesday. Petraeus replaces Adm. William Fallon, who said last month he was resigning. Fallon said widespread, but false, reports that he was at odds with the Bush administration over Iran had made his job impossible. Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno will take over for Petraeus as commander in Iraq, Gates said. Petraeus was picked in January 2007 to replace Gen. George Casey as the chief commander in Iraq, and won Senate confirmation that same month. He previously served as head of the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center and as a commander in Iraq and was one of the main writers of an Army manual on counterinsurgency efforts. [/QUOTE]
