Remember that name: Lt. Gen. David Petraeus, United States Army. Pronounced "Pe-TRAY-us." President Bush is promoting Petraeus to four stars and giving him command of our troops in Iraq. All of this despite certain distractions — like the giddiness of Congress or the silliness of the Iraq Study Group.
Notwithstanding the more insistent demands for precipitous withdrawals and pre-emptive capitulation, Petraeus wants more troops and fully intends to engage them in some tough battles over the next several years — for which there are good strategic reasons.
