Petraeus backs US troop drawdown in Afghanistan

Post by C-MAC »

Money quote;
"Pressed repeatedly by lawmakers as to why U.S. forces should stay in Afghanistan, Petraeus said, "Two words, and those are 9/11," referring to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. He said the United States made a grievous error in abandoning Afghanistan once before.

"I think it would be a mistake, a big mistake, to go down that road again," he said."
