Petraeus takes step toward confirmation


The Senate Armed Services Committee voted to send the nomination of Gen. David Petraeus to the full Senate for a confirmation vote. This was a voice vote.

*** UPDATE *** NBC's Scott Foster, who is traveling with Vice President Biden today, reports that the vice president will have dinner with Gen. Petraeus at CENTCOM.
