CIA Director David Petraeus has his eye on the top job at Princeton University, according to an article in the Daily Princetonian, the university’s student newspaper.

Petraeus, who commanded the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan before retiring from the military to become CIA director last year, has publicly stated his desire to be president of Princeton before, but it has also been a comment deflecting questions about a possible run for president of the United States.

The paper said Petraeus isn't bluffing, citing three individuals close to the CIA director who state he has a serious interest in becoming university president.

EADS CEO Tom Enders said Thursday that he doesn’t intend to extend an Oct. 10 deadline to complete a merger with BAE Systems, a move that will put pressure three European governments to get the details quickly ironed out for the proposed deal.

Enders told The Wall Street Journal Deutschland that the two companies had agreed upon the terms of the merger, and now it was up to the governments involved.

“I don't see any reason to presume that the still-open questions cannot be cleared up by October 10," Enders told the Journal.

American troops are once again pairing up with Afghan forces less than a week after the top U.S. commander ordered an immediate drawdown in those missions. 

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Thursday said he'd take any deal that would avoid across-the-board cuts to defense spending. 

Netanyahu literally drew a red line on a crude cartoon of a bomb to make his point on Iran.

Talks are under way between senior Navy officials and their counterparts in Cairo to begin conducting joint war games for the first time since Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi took power earlier this year. 

“I will say that this has now turned into a very bipartisan concern,” Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said Thursday.
