Petraeus and Odierno confirmed

. . . for their new posts as CENTCOM commander and Iraq commander.  Petraeus was confirmed by a vote of 95-2 and Odierno by 96-1.  The nay votes were Byrd (D-WV) and Harkin (D-IA) for Petraeus and just Harkin for Odierno.  Kennedy (D-MA), Obama, and McCain did not vote on either.
