[edit] McMaster's promotion

I don't know whether or not this makes the part about McMaster being passed over for promotion obsolete, but word in Army circles is that the latest promotions board selected him for promotion to Brigadier General. For citation, check Washington Post, May 15, 2008 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/14/AR2008051403366.html . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.84.241.78 (talk) 21:55, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree. 199.184.238.231 (talk) 03:06, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

And, as it happens, he's taking the advanced interservices joint course right now which is a prerequisite for the promotion (which is why he got to be on Charlie Rose a few days ago - he's not in Iraq right now, but in Virginia). However, that's not confirmation that he actually was promoted. Someone (Petreus) got him off his duty in Iraq and out to the course. Presumably there's a reason. However, that's speculation... We'll see. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 21:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
