3/ From the start, we didn't understand Afghanistan, a country wildly different from and more complicated than Iraq. And our structure of rotating generals and soldiers in and out 12 months at a time meant that we were destined to never learn Afghanistan. — PolitiTweet.org

2/ Patraeus says the problem was a) we refused to stay longer; b) we spent too little $ and on the wrong stuff; and c) we didn't understand Afghanistan. What he fails to realize is that (a) and (b) don't matter if (c) is true. — PolitiTweet.org

4/ Every time I visited Afghanistan, a new smart general would explain to me why the previous general screwed up and how his new plan (derived from maybe 30 days of on-the-ground learning) would get things on the right track. — PolitiTweet.org
