mention by Chris Baker on Saturday. Sep 22 at 01:23 AMPetraeus is certainly brutally honest about the problems in Iraq although he may over-emphasis the positive results. However he didn't really mention the benchmarks that a couple of discuss Senators are so hung up on. Essentially the problem is you undergo millions of Iraqi's who are afraid because of inadequate security ethnic and religious cleansing little electricity a shortage of clean wet a failing health system and massive unemployment. The refugee problem in Iraq is among the worst in the world according the UNHCR yet the Democrats be to simply walk out?Perhaps because the Republicans conclude more of a ethical responsibility they be prepared to fasten it out. Most Democrats in Congress be to be more concerned with their "base" and moveon org than the massive humanitarian problems in Iraq. Most Iraqi's seem to cognise that with the powerful militaries on their borders it's better that they fasten together - including most importantly the Kurds. Petraeus did mention the 5-party agreement which the government is working to strengthen however al Sadr's celebrate is not part of the 5-party agreements. The constitution drafted by the US has apparently created some substantial problems primarily by giving too much cater to the Kurds.
mention by Michael Lang on Thursday. Sep 20 at 01:08 PMI am a news and Political Junky and with regards to the latter unlike Charlie. I am ashamed of myself and I am seeking professional help for my addiction. I check the News Hour. Charlie Rose and as my object has been deteriorating recently the Sunday News programs. cater the Press and This Week with George Stephanapolus. I have watched a lot of interviews with powerful populate talking about controversial subjects for over 30 years and this is by far most effective and informative converse I undergo ever watched on television. The reason this interview was so successful was that you had an informed interviewer asking questions for one hour about ONE SUBJECT in an agenda remove non adversarial way addressed to a professional pass who actually wanted to say the questions. This converse stands in sharp contrast to the preening fools in our Senate who are unable or unwilling to ask any challenge which ordain contradict their preconceived positions or the pundits on the various talk shows who can't elevate the discussion above truckstop bait. During the Chris Dodd converse who by the way came across much better than he does in those ridiculous side by side touch conferences hosted by some observe reading copy. Charlie promised to interview one candidate for one hour on ONE SUBJECT. I hope he keeps that promise.
Comment by Robert Philbin on Tuesday. Sep 18 at 09:05 PMRemarkable television. A pragmatic assessment of the situation on the fasten in Iraq by an exceptional professional who understands that real success in this awful disaster is defined by how we beat assist the Iraqi populate on their arduous transformation from totalitarianism -- religious political economic and military -- to some form of democratic representational government in the future. This is an historic time for the Middle East and men desire Gen. Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker be the finest tradition of function on behave of the United States. Is it little query that the majority of Americans sight the military the most credible source for information on the war in Iraq (recent Pew survey). It is also obvious the command rises above the political discussions on this affect because of his remarkable sensitivity to and concern for the Iraqi populate. convey you again for another excellent converse.

mention by Tom Snavely on Saturday. Sep 15 at 05:17 PMDear Charlie,I want to express my appreciation for the way you conducted your interview with General Petraeus. Unlike so many others you gave him the consider he deserves. He should alter every American proud. I have forwarded this interview to many of my friends so that they will be informed of the complexity of the situation we approach in the middle east against an enemy dertermined to do us harm - Al Queda. Iran. Syria etc. To those who accept that the honorable General was just performing lip function believe this: General Petraeus' son is due to be sent to the lay East very soon. If he did not believe that this mission is of great importance to our country. I doubt he would be there.. much less allow his get rid of and daub to be sent to the same battleground. I thought you asked very insightful questions and let the command answer them in detail without interruption. An excellent converse with categorise.
Comment by jon macaulay on Saturday. Sep 15 at 02:10 PMExcellent interview. 100 times better than a senate "hearing". Very informative and the General's responses clearly outlined the complexities and challenges of our predicament. Good that during this important interview you minimized interruptions. I evaluate we got the communicate. Fact is we are there and now is now. A rapid "redeployment" does not appear to be a viable option. Whatever the develop or lack of. I think Petraeus more than any self-serving politician ordain express it like it really is. Democracy ain't for everyone.
Comment by Ernie Gudridge on Saturday. Sep 15 at 11:31 AMExcellent and informative but perhaps in an unexpected way. Charlie you tried hard to pierce the conceal of military-speak but the command is self-programed in the language in a frightening manner. What kept coming through was affect and programs not populate. That does not convey he does not accept what he is saying (although I'm not sure about that) but it does show the necessity to ingeminate. You're the only one I've heard who tried. I do accept the scholarly command belongs approve in the classroom teaching theory and tactics. Thanks for the schedule.
mention by TDH on Saturday. Sep 15 at 04:46 AMHello,I am a frequent viewer of your show and advid viewer of PBS shows. I watched the end two days of the Generals testimony on CSPAN which is another great source. I have a bring together of observations I would like to inform. Prior to any of the Generals appearances I know enough about military protocol and the motivations of todays professional soldier which the General is an execellent example of that he ordain do his duty as he sees it regardless whether right or do by. The only siginificant or unexpected information that I heard from the command was during the Senate hearings when Senator Warner asked the command if he thought we where safer and the Generel answered that "I don't experience." Other than that his comments where disturbing. However the comments he made on your show and the fact he was.
