Petraeus - says we have little "strategic flexibility" to send more troops to Afghanistan
Posted by Max Bergmann

Petraeus says it would be very hard to increase troop levels in Afghanistan because our military is overstretched. He agrees with General Cody the Vice Chief of the Army that we have little "strategic flexibility" and increasing troop levels in Afghanistan, as commanders have called for, would put the Armed Services under enormous strain. So basically, Petraeus concedes that Iraq negatively effects our ability to conduct operations in Afghanistan.

Petraeus concedes that Iraq negatively effects our ability to conduct operations in Afghanistan.. It would be very hard to increase troop levels in Afghanistan because the military is overstretched.

President Obama nominated Petraeus to succeed General Stanley McChrystal as commanding general of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, technically a step down from his position as Commander of United States Central Command, which oversees the military efforts in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, and parts of Africa.

Petraeus, then a Major General, saw combat for the first time when he commanded the 101st Airborne Division during V Corps's drive to Baghdad. In a campaign chronicled in detail by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Rick Atkinson of The Washington Post in the book In the Company of Soldiers.
