The dress code for the handover of American power in Iraq from Gen. David Petraeus to Gen. Ray Odierno was different today than it had been when Petraeus took the job 19 months ago. For reporters riding the armored military bus – the "Rhino" – to the ceremony, helmets and bullet-proof vests were optional. Last year, amid the anarchic sectarian violence and frequent deadly attacks on U.S. forces, protective gear was a must, even with the armor, on the ride down the dangerous airport road to the American military headquarters west of Baghdad. In February 2007, when Gen. George Casey handed off command to Petraeus, 81 U.S. troops died. Last month, 23 American soldiers were killed. Attacks are now at a four-year low and Iraqi deaths have also dropped steeply. Under the enormous glass chandelier in an atrium of one of Saddam Hussein's old palaces, the home of the U.S. command, today's ceremony was formal and full of the usual pomp; a military band, color guards, anthems and the ritualized hand off of military banners from Petraeus, who ascends to command U.S. troops throughout the Middle East, to Odierno, now in his third major Iraqi command. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates came along to praise both men. But the goals for Odierno's term remain tempered by reality. While some Americans talk about victory in Iraq, American commanders steer clear of that value-laden term and generally come back to earth in terms that are more about sal ...
