of the controversies about the afghan campaign is under general david petraeus and general stanley mcchrystal and overall strategy was devised whereby military pressure would be applied against the enemy and by the time general david petraeus and general stanley mcchrystal appeared on the screen we had basically an industrial strength insurgency on our hands but they made it very clear the military effort was only a means to an end and the end was a political resolution. the moment president obama said he wanted to withdraw the forces and not see the jobs through, the ability to request that kind of political settlement has been in doubt. the office was open in qatar to facilitate peace talks between the afghans and the taliban. it remained empty as long as it has been there. whatever you think of the iraq conflict, eventually led to a political settlement. might not be a perfect political settlement but the iraqi government is democratically elected and they have a new constitution based on democracy and rule of law which they would not have had it not for the regional effort. >> my name is

. >> since you brought up the issue of firing, how did you feel about losing stanley mcchrystal? >> well, at first, i mean, i felt he committed a terrible error, and i say so in the book. giving access to this reporter. mcchrystal is probably one of the most effective combat generals we've had since world war ii. both as commander in afghanistan and as commander of the joint special operations unit in iraq and afghanistan. he did a lot of damage to our enemies and people who were killing our troops. but the world of politics and the media was a new battle space for general mcchrystal, and he was, he was a brand new second lieutenant in that realm. and as effective as he was of in the command position, he stepped out of line in some of his interviews. but i felt when the report, when the article came out about him with the quotes that seemed to disparage the vice president and the national security adviser and others, my worry was that if he let -- if he was relieved, that we might lose the war in afghanistan right then and there. we now had, by that time we had the timeline the p
