Interview: General David Petraeus (Army, ret.) on Afghanistan

To better understand that military perspective, longtime national security correspondent and Center for the Study of the Presidency & Congress Senior Fellow James Kitfield spoke with retired Army General David Petraeus, the architect of the U.S. military’s counterinsurgency strategy who commanded all U.S. and allied forces at the height of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and who also served as Commander of US Central Command and Director of the CIA.
