General Petraeus is too busy with Iraq. The last thing they need to do is put him in charge of all of CENTCOM. This is a great question, though. I'm not surprised the vote is leaning towards YES.

He has very strong support from both Republicans and Democrats and he may get to have a very strong say in where his next assignment is. I don't think he will be CENTCOM Commander, but he may be NATO Commander or even the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs..this will be interesting.
