Comments on: Report Slams U.S. Over Iraq Refugee Crisis

Survey: 500,000 Iraqis Fled Fighting In 2007; U.S. Accepted Half Of Those It Promised To Resettle

JERSupporter,,,,, Slow reader ?? --- Try just the 1st paragraph so you don''t get confused with the rest of it.

They seem an odd couple: the general who engineered President Bush''s surge in Iraq, and the presidential candidate who has promised to undo it. But look again. Gen. David Petraeus''s broad new agenda as the likely next commander of Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees U.S. forces in the entire Middle East and Central Asia, seems to echo some of Barack Obama''s views about the critical front in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Though he hasn''t even been confirmed yet, NEWSWEEK has learned that the energetic Petraeus is already informally involved in talks with the new Pakistani government, including its ambassador to Washington, Husain Haqqani, about counterinsurgency plans for the tribal regions, where Taliban and Al Qaeda elements still hold sway. And in his discussions with the Pakistanis, Petraeus has indicated he would add up to two additional Coalition brigades to Afghanistan once he takes over CENTCOM, according to a senior diplomatic official in Washington who spoke on condition of anonymity owing to political sensitivities. Interestingly, that''s close to what Obama has called for, as well.

[jersupporter]

and please note jwhitman that your link to the story from Michael Hirsh does say that General Petraeus strategy is closer to Obama. But does not ever say what Obamas strategy is? Plus I read some other of Michael Hirshs articles and he is a die-hard liberal. So the article is all fluff and opinion. Good try

You obviously haven''t read the NIE by our own 16 intelligence agencies which states that the invasion/occupation of Iraq has actually FOMENTED terrorism worldwide, rather than diminish it.

notblue,,,, No you stupid biitch, we need to start getting it right for a change instead of running the wars for GOP politics ---- Start listening to General Petreaus, who''s actually more in tune with Obama rather than old McCain.
