Petraeus rewarded too quickly

This just seems like a terrible idea: a promotion for Petraeus.

General Petraeus will be nominated by Mr Bush to take charge of US Central Command in Florida, which oversees the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The US Senate must first confirm him in his new position, and little opposition is expected.

Assuming the new strategy (I can no longer use the "s" word) is working, why not wait a little longer for the promotion?
