Pakistan Are Very Keen To Carry Out

This Cannot Be The United States Being The Air Force For Shia Militias, Or A Shia On Sunni Arab Fight.

I Did A Week-long Assessment In 2005 At (then Defense Secretary Donald) Rumsfeld's Request. Following Our Return, I Told Him That Afghanistan Was Going To Be The Longest Campaign Of What We Then Termed "the Long War."

The Question Is Always How You Get The Number Of Troops Needed. They Do Not Have To Be Coalition Forces. We Also Have To Expand The Training Program For The Afghan National Army And The National Police, In Particular. And Defense Secretary Robert Gates Has Already Announced Support For A Significant Increase In The Afghan Army.

The Job Of The Leader Is To Get The Big Ideas Right.

Pakistan Are Very Keen To Carry Out The Operations Themselves. And There's Significant Effort On The Part Of The Us And Other Countries To Provide Assistance That Can Enable Pakistan To Do Just That.
