[Peace-discuss] "Area of Responsibility"

[David Green]

"In a flattering 11,000-word profile in the May 2010 of Vanity Fair, Petraeus comes across as a brilliant and dedicated man, more genuinely concerned about the peoples of the AOR than other Bush appointees.

But the testimony appears riddled with blind spots due to the framework within which the U.S. establishment functions: In the final analysis, the way the United States defines its interests trumps the way the people of the region might define their interests."
