According to PBS' Jim Lehrer and White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten, W is still the Decider, whereas Petraeus is more like a "magic judger." Seriously. I couldn't make this stuff up:
JIM LEHRER: Mr. Bolten, how did we get into a situation where one general named Petraeus has suddenly become the master whatever, the master decider as to what is happening on the ground in Iraq?
JOSHUA BOLTEN: Well, he's not the decider.
JIM LEHRER: OK. Bad choice of words.
JOSHUA BOLTEN: He's the commander on the ground.
JIM LEHRER: I withdraw the word.
JOSHUA BOLTEN: Withdrawal permitted.
JIM LEHRER: OK, magic judger, all right?
