Would a major recommitment of U.S. troops to Iraq weaken American resolve in Afghanistan?
No, I think it will help. If we can show success in Iraq, which we can, I think it would encourage everyone about the operations in Afghanistan. They are different countries and cultures to be sure, but there is a common thread. There are insurgencies in both countries that want to topple duly-elected governments and there are external players. I think ’07 is going to be difficult, but I’m optimistic.
