Petraeus picked to lead Central Command - payback time
Edited on Wed Apr-23-08 11:01 AM by spanone

adm. fallon bad soldier

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.

Gen. David Petraeus has been the commander in Iraq for more than a year.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.
