Petraeus Focuses On Regional Approach Amid Iraq Debate
Washington Post columnist David Broder notes Gen. David Petraeus offered a regional engagement focus rather than a clear exit strategy in hearings with Lugar Crocker. Lugar outlined five premises: surge security, limited further gains, Iraqi governance flaws, persistent sectarian arms, and strain on U.S. forces. Broder asks if a real strategy will emerge from candidates, not the general.
