Gates and Petraeus Agree with Obama on Negotiations
In comments that are sure to be repeated by the Obama campaign, Gen. David Petraeus said Wednesday that negotiations with the Taliban could be the key to success in Afghanistan."I do think you have to talk to enemies, " Petraeus said when asked about dialogue with the Taliban.Earlier in the week, Defense Secretary Robert Gates took a similar stance saying, "Part of the solution is reconciliation with people who are willing to work with the Afghan government going forward."Look for John McCain to suspend his campaign and rush to Kabul as he criticizes Obama for failing to talk to our enemies.http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/10/08/terror/main4511185.shtml
