General David Petraeus, a prostate cancer survivor who oversees the Afghan war effort as head of U.S. Central Command, briefly collapsed about an hour into the hearing in the Senate Armed Services Committee.

In what one observer called “a frightening moment,” Petraeus suddenly slumped face-forward on the large desk where he sat to give testimony. Aides rushed to his side and gently escorted him into a private room for checks by a military doctor.

Petraeus later blamed dehydration and skipping breakfast for the incident — and joked it wasn’t tough questioning from the likes of Senator John McCain, the panel’s senior Republican, that triggered his fainting spell.

McCain, who ran against Democrat Obama in the 2008 presidential election, called Petraeus a hero. But he also warned that the Afghan campaign could be heading toward a “crisis,” reflecting growing impatience among many lawmakers over the pace of the war.
