Gen. Patraeus: Why We’re Really in Afghanistan
Can’t say I’m really surprised by this, but it is a bit striking to see some of the overall strategic picture referenced so cavalierly by those in positions of such power (or at least, in Patraeus’ case, were in those positions. But have no fear, he’s still around. He’ll be back. You don’t run the CIA and leave without an arsenal of secrets that can be wielded as a weapon of political influence).
