General Petraeus

Agree or disagree with us even being in Iraq, General Petraeus deserves every citizens respect and appreciation. He will likely to go down as one of our Nation's best Generals. The turn around he oversaw in Iraq has been staggering. With any luck he'll be able to greatly improve Afghanistan in much the same way. This country can only hope that the new commander in Iraq, Gen. Ray Odierno, will live up to the standard Gen. Petraeus has set.

Here's a nice article from the Washington Post by David Ignatius about Gen. Petraeus's farewell night and how his legacy may be seen in years to come.

A nice editorial from the Times of London

On a personal note: Thank you General Petraeus for doing a fantastic job and hopefully history judges you accurately for what you did for this country. God Bless you and our troops.
