Duane R. Patterson: Say Thanks To General Petraeus
Here are some of their questions. Petraeus, in March 2007, a few weeks after taking charge of U.S. Military forces in Baghdad, you said, “There is no military solution to a problem like that in Iraq, to the insurgency of Iraq.” More than a year later, rockets are still falling in the Green Zone and Iranian-backed Shiite militias are fighting each other for power in Baghdad and Basra. The political reconciliation the surge was intended to foster has not happened, nor has any significant diplomatic breakthrough been achieved.
