I haven't read the article yet. Does the author provide a list of three or so Generals who would do better at CENTCOM, supported with resume points and quotes? Does he explain where the CENTCOM commander fits in the chain of command? Or is it assumed the average Huffington Post reader is well acquainted with these mundane details?

But seriously folks... there are those who see Petraeus as political candidate, and tremble at the thought. (More so than at the thought of AfPakIraq in flames.) I suspect our author is one, I believe we'll be seeing more in the future. Pity, that.
