so, you don t have a similar situation in afghanistan. it s more difficult than iraq was at that time. so, what do you believe will be general petraeus strategy. many have said that he wrote the book on counterinsurgency we know the success in iraq. what is the strategy, do you believe? he was very much a participant in setting the strategy. if you will recall last fall, the president for three months consulted with his advisors before consensus was reached on a particular counterinsurgency strategy. so, he was there to help build it. and as centcom commander, he has been in and out of the area frequently and very familiar with what is going on. i don t see any fundamental change coming at all. if the administration plans to keep to schedule next june, next july withdrawing troops, can anything really be changed in that short period of time,
