I don't know what the immediate future holds for Iraq. I fear that if Obama wins, he could destroy the successes we've seen. HOWEVER, one of the most important things Bush has done is to elevate Petraeus to CENTCOM because Obama, if he wins, will have little choice but to do what he is told by Petraeus. It would be political suicide for Obama to come in and go up against Petraeus, Bush realized that, and by movng Petraeus to CENTCOM Bush has SMARTLY insured that Obama will face self-destruction if he tries to muck up the works. Not saying Obama won't do it -- but it is going to be very tough for him to go against Bush policy.

Thanks for posting, quite significant news, which I hadn't noticed in this way.

That said - and on a different note - it's also possible that understanding this some swing voters will feel safer with voting for Obama.
