General Petraeus

Michael Yon gives his view of the recent reporting by the New York Times about General Petraeus possibly being reassigned to a top NATO command. My initial feeling was that it would be a bad idea to take General Petraeus out of Iraq, but I'm certainly not qualified to make any judgment on it. Michael Yon is a good one to realistically look at and comment about the move and he does with News Flash: General Reassignment

• Folks have been asking me what I think about the prospect of General David Petraeus being re-assigned out of Iraq. It’s something I’ve been thinking and talking about for months. We need General Petraeus in Iraq, but I am concerned that we need him more elsewhere.
