general petraeus

   The first thing I know about General David Petraeus is that he went to West Point with one of my dads friends!!  Dr. Jess Gillig and his wife are my mom and dads really good friends and Jess graduated West point with General Petraeus.  Jess says he is a very nice guy and an amazing soldier and army general!
   He is a united States Army general who serves as the current Commander, International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).
   He visited Pakistan this past Monday and talked with their army chief on ways to boost security.  He visited Pakistan to spend time with Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, Pakistan's chief of army staff.  This was Petraeus 6th visit to Pakistan as the NATO commander of ISAF to try and help.  He has long established relations with Pakistan's army staff and has worked with them alot.  On Saturday Kayani says his forces have inflicted deep wounds on the Al-Qaeda forces.  He took criticism from the United States for some of the attack. Kayani says that the terrorists backbone has been broken and God willing we will prevail.  He made this speech after the attacks at a parade at an army academy celebration.
