Petraeus , who now is in command of CENTCOM (Iraq, Afghanistan, and all of the middle east theater) has talked repeatedly about surging Afghanistan in the spring... with Brigades the were scheduled to go to Iraq....
This does two things... Reduces troops in Iraq...and puts forward a plan that worked in Iraq (more troops plus the Petraeus approach to counter insurgency)
What do you all think? Especially since it will be Obama's call.... not Bush's call...
While some call Petraeus Bush's boy... I don't believe this...he just happened to be the smartest man in the room at the time... and now proving to be on of the most brilliant Generals since Eisenhower....
I think it is a good idea... and I think it will work. He has proven himself before. I served under him when he was in Iraq...and he ran tight ship and things went smooth and we saw progress when I was there...
