Is Petraeus Fit to be U.S. Central Commander?

I was going to continue my series on creationist apologetics, but I just couldn’t let this story go by. When questioned about whether or not the military had the authority to attack Iran without congressional approval, Petraeus dodged the question by saying that he is only in charge of the armed forces in Iraq and is not, therefore, qualified to answer the question. Of course such action would be unconstitutional and any military general should know that. You can see the questioning here.

But this is not the end of the story. The man who was not qualified to answer a simple question about military policy has now been promoted to U.S. Central Commander, and put in charge of confronting Iran, and reinvigorating military operations in Afghanistan.
