General David Patraeus is being promoted from Baghdad Command to Central Command in the Middle East.
This is happening after Admiral Fallon abruptly resigned the CentCom position in March over strategy disagreement with the Bush Administration. Fallon opposed “The Surge” while Bush and Patraeus agreed it was a need. Patraeus obviously won out and it looks like he is taking the old bosses job.
With “The Surge” being way more successful than its opponents could ever have imagined; speculation must begin to arise as to the position of CentCom Commander for Patraeus. This is so particularly because of all the saber rattling from Iran and the promise of retaliation even from Democratic candidate Hillary.
Iran is supplying terrorist enemies of America and America’s ally Israel. Is the Bush Administration planning some kind of strike on Iran? It is just something to think about.
