Petraeus Almost Quit

A new book says Gen. David Petraeus nearly quit over President Obama's decision to quickly draw down forces from Afghanistan. But the top commander in Iraq, now the CIA director, ultimately stuck with the job. The forthcoming authorized biography is by Paula Broadwell. The book says Petraeus didn't want to make what he felt would be a selfish, grandstanding move. Instead, the general decided to salute and carry on. Broadwell had unlimited access to Petraeus for two years, both in war zones and in Washington
