SENATE CONFIRMS GENERAL ODIERNO

07/10/08

U.S. Representative John Carter (R-Fort Hood) today released the following statement after the Senate confirmed Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno to replace Gen. Petraeus as the commander of the chief military officer in Iraq.
 
“As the Representative for Fort Hood, Texas, the largest military base in the nation and the former station of General Odierno, I have had the privilege to meet with him both in Texas and on the ground in Iraq.  He worked hand in hand with General Petraeus to implement the new counter-insurgency strategy in Iraq.  I can tell you that there is no one better qualified to lead our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.  We in Texas are proud of our new General and look forward to his success.”

The Senate voted 95-2 in favor of Gen. David Petraeus as the top commander in the Middle East and 96-1 for Lt. Gen. Odierno to replace Petraeus as the chief military officer in Iraq.  General Odierno will receive a 4th star as part of his promotion.
