court to deliver justice jim graham from stop the war coalition says washington proudly views afghanistan's leaders dismissively policy it follows in dealings with other countries. that kind of behavior is absolutely consistent with united states policy in afghanistan and other countries if you just look at for example party star is. what the united states calls a major non nato ally that's pakistan but the united states went in for example and . deep into pakistan and killed osama bin laden and. the. cia man who killed i think three targets than is on the streets and he was whisked away and so on so the many many examples both in that region and throughout the world so yes they don't they don't treat karzai with any respect for think if you just take the karzai government it's hardly true that he has any more credibility now than he did ten years ago if you remember that the united states picked him he wasn't. they picked him in. shortly after september eleventh and they declared him to be the head of some kind of local administration and it's true that later on he was elected president bu

have to keep in mind that the cold war context of what is going on here because when we think about vietnam, we don't automatically think about this being a coalitional war. we sometimes even overlook the south vietnamese role in it. some of the literature, for example, you almost think there's no south vietnamese army there when you're reading the book. there's pretty substantial south vietnamese forces. on the communist side in particular, the coalitional aspect is very, very important for their success. ho chi minh says that himself so you've got the support from communist china and the soviet union. keep that in mind when we look at this war. you have these various different aspects of it. you have to deal with the various different aspects and various different wars in some respects in a different manner. now also what is important to point out here before we go into this lecture, you can see from the time line that it covers an enormous amount of time, 30 years. obviously we're going to leave a couple of things out and hit the high points. what is important to think about is the primary means, pry timar elements of strategy to prosecute the war

coalition. ours is a relatively short history. on october 6th of 2011, many anti war and economic justice groups across the country joined forces to protest the continued u.s. occupation of afghanistan. it was the day before the tenth anniversary of the invasion. the groups that collaborated to moint the bay area demonstration represented a broad range of issues, inner faith, peace and justice, single-payer health care, labor, veterans for peace, women's rights, independent political parties and anti war mobili mobilizing. but a brand-new group was also present, occupy san francisco. one of thousands that had sprung up throughout the country following the emergence of the occupy wall street movement in new york city. the bay area 201 coordinators immediately identified with the energy of this young movement. we decided to work together, developing a collaborative partnership between all of these diverse efforts, and thus the coalition was born. despite the mainstream media's negative portrayal of the occupy movement and its exclusive focus on the horse race aspects of

armed forces and civilian personnel, our coalition partners and our afghan partners are, our strategy is working. while success in war is never guaranteed, we are on a path to meet our objectives, to deny safe haven to al qaeda and deny the tail ban the ability to overthrow the afghan government. i would like to conclude by thanking the committee for your continued support of our effort in afghanistan, and your strong support for the great men and women of the u.s. armed forces. thank you and i look forward to your questions. >> thank you so much, dr. miller. general allen. >> chairman levin, senator mccain, distinguished members of the committee. thank you for this opportunity to appear before you today to discuss our operations in afghanistan. it is a pleasure to be here with my friend dr. jim miller who is the acting undersecretary of defense for policy, it has been a pleasure for me to get to know him over the last several weeks as he has been a very important ally of mine in helping to explain some of the policy issues with which we deal on daily basis. let me begin by expressing my sincere gratitude to all of y

wars in other countries we have to have the same information dominance. but we did have it. now here are some things that made the campaign in iraq unusual. the coalition forces took care to minimize collateral damage. very few times have countries gone to war and attempts to safeguard the enemy people and infrastructure. this might have been a mistake. we might have been given ainedcation we were weak. i hope this is not the case. damage was done to an already fragile infrastructure. the campaign was executed quickly and efficiently. there were more risks, had the iraqis been better led, some things might have happened. so complete was our confidence in the information dominance that the risks were accepted. we fought an intelligent war, in many ways effects spaced operations. for example, if you are attacking a ground defense system, instead of attacking every radar, missile site and airfield, you take out the command centers that dismantle them so they are not useful. you have fewer aircraft at risk and fewer casualties and do less damage. a very intelligent way to fight a war. fortunately for us, unfortunately for them, perhaps in the long run fort
