General Petraeus To Head... CIA

Odd move. Seems like his genius is in military matters. Intelligence is a related field (lot of intel in warfare) and yet it's not exactly his proven area of standout excellence.

Maybe he wants a challenge, something new. If so, I can't help but grumble We sorta need a head of the head of the CIA, that is, a President.

But I'm sure he'll do well there. If anyone can get the dysfunctional unintelligence agency working, it's he.

Leon Panetta, meanwhile, is moving to... Secretary of Defense.

Gates, who vowed he'd resign before he ordered ground troops in Libya, is departing.

Integrative Complexity

It goes down as easy as sweet mint tea.
