Petraeus Agrees that the greatest danger is from Pakistan not Iraq
Posted by Ilan Goldenberg

Jack Reed finally brings up the gorilla in the room.  He asks Petraeus if he agrees with the intelligence community and Chairman Mullen's assessment that the next terrorist attack on the United States would most likely come from the Pakistan-Afghanistan border area. 

Petraeus says YES.

And Reed naturally asks, then why does the campaign plan focus on Iraq not Afghanistan and Pakistan?  Reed also asks how Petraeus would plan to actually bring more troops into that area, since they're all in Iraq.

Can everyone just yield their time to Senator Reed?
