Change in leadership in Iraq

I'm no expert, and obviously have no on the ground experience in Iraq, but it seems to me that Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno has done an outstanding job while serving as the "number two" guy helping Gen David Petraeus guide a pretty successful year in the war-torn country. I'm glad that Lt. Gen. Odierno will now become Army Vice Chief of Staff, because his recent experience will help planners in the Pentagon get things right as we move forward. It's leaders like these two that ought to make all Americans proud.
