crocker. he was our first envoy after the fall of the taliban. he reopened our embassy there. as a former ambassador to pakistan, he recognizes that our strategy on both sides. as ambassador to iraq his work helped reduce violence, promote reconciliation, and shift from a military surge to a political effort in a long-term effort between our two countries. this is exactly what is needed now in afghanistan where ambassador crocker will work with our new special representative to afghanistan and pakistan, marc roseman. i want to thank he and his wife for greeg agreeing to serve our nation once more. so leon panetta of the defense department, david petraeus at the c.i.a., ambassador crocker and general john allen in afghanistan. these are the leaders that i've chosen to help guide us through the difficult days ahead. i will look to them and my entire national security team for their counsel, continuity, and unity of effort that this moment in history demands. and our people on the front lines, ou
