Gen. David Petraeus and Richard Holbrooke Set Forth Strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan - Video 3/29/09

Here is video of Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Richard Holbrooke laying out the current approach to the War in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Holbrooke has been named by Obama as a Special Envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan to lead the diplomatic efforts, while Petraeus is the commander on the military side.

Holbrooke comes across as a total Obama hack, saying Obama "took charge" of meetings on Afghanistan/Pakistan "like no other President" he has seen. Gen. David Petraeus is a true patriot, and he comes across as very capable and focused on winning the fight rather than advancing political goals. At about the 7:50 mark of the video, Petraeus uses a map to show the real issues we face in winning the fight along the Afghanistan / Pakistan border.
