More on the Tanks to Afghanistan

This article also talks more about Petraeus's mindset on war fighting. There is a wide misconception that Petraeus is all about a soft approach, but I've been clearly reporting since at least 2007 that Petraeus is a straight-up killer. The man doesn't play. He's using more force now than anyone since... the war began. I saw him do this in Iraq. After he kills a bunch of bad guys, he comes back and says, "Hey, care to talk now? Doesn't have to be like this." If they don't want to talk, he goes back to killing.

Mark my words and watch.
