Staff member
The US Senate has approved the appointment of General David Petraeus as head of US Central Command.

When he takes up the post in September he will have responsibility for US operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as dealing with Iran and Pakistan.

As the US general currently in charge of Iraq, he has been credited with helping restore security to some parts of the country.

He takes over from Adm William Fallon, who stood down in March.

The resignation followed reports that Adm Fallon opposed the White House policy towards Iran.

My, my, my Petraeus! He wants to be President, you know, but if they are running John McCain and counting on him winning, then that means they expect McCain to be in the WH for 8 years...well, David will still be young enough to run for President!
