Few people deserve to be the NATO Supreme Commander more than General David Petraeus does. But nominating him at this time would be a bad idea. the situation in Iran is dramatically improving but that situation is still on a knife's edge. There is so much more that needs to be done in the country and with Petraeus currently in charge and turning Iraq around for the better, now is not the time to change the leadership structure around.
I am sure that Petraeus someday will be NATO's Supreme Commander and eventually, he deserves to be the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He will get those opportunities in due course. But Iraq is where the action is at and where the need is currently located. Here's hoping that the General sticks around there so that the country's reconstruction continues apace.

Posted at 12:03am on Jan. 3, 2008 Interviewing General Petraeus
By Pejman Yousefzadeh
The interview is found here. Presumably, Foreign Policy is an independent, non-partisan and non-ideological outfit so it is worth asking anew whether people like Andrew Sullivan and Glenn Greenwald are at long last willing to retract statements made in the past and to the effect that General Petraeus was and is a tool of "the right-wing noise machine" (or whatever they are calling it these days), simply because in the past, General Petraeus also gave interviews to Hugh Hewitt and FoxNews.

General David Petraeus. I say again that I don't really have a problem with Time's choice since its Person of the Year "honor" is no honor at all. It recognizes the most consequential newsmaker whether or not that newsmaker was on the side of Light or Darkness. Kristol misses that distinction in his article. But for all that he was able to accomplish, I certainly think that General Petraeus was deserving of recognition. Time's choice was defensible but it nevertheless should have put the General on the front cover of its magazine.
