Screw up? Move up!

Bush is promoting his top Iraq commander, Army Gen. David Petraeus. This makes perfect sense in light of all the other Cheney/Bush decisions. Iraq is still the same sinking hell hole it was when Patraeus took charge a year ago so its only natural to reward him for outstanding mediocrity.
You may remember that as National Security Adviser, Condoleeza Rice was given numerous warnings that Osama Bin Laden was going to attack the United States months before 9/11. She did nothing and was promoted to Secretary of State to reward her incompetence.
