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.
