[quote]ABC News has learned that the president intends to nominate Admiral William J. Fallon to replace General John Abizaid at Central Command. The announcement is expected next week, before the president gives his Iraq strategy speech, according to US officials.

Officials also tell ABC that the replacement as MNF-I commander in Iraq (replacing Gen. George Casey) will be LTG David Petraeus. Though Casey was originally staying in position till June, he is expected to leave earlier than expected probably in the next few months.

“The president wants a clean sweepâ€

Don't know anything off hand, but I'm worried about the fact that an Admiral has been put in charge of a theather that's mainly a bloody land war!

Got your point.

Update time!

Bloomberg reports that Casey is being considered by the new SecDef, Gates, as the Army Chief Of Staff. Also, Army Lieutenant General David Petraeus is apparently being given Gates' support for head of operations on the ground in Iraq.
