Gates: Petraeus Will Review Afghan Strategy
Staff
Defense Secretary Robert Gates told reporters Thursday that the withdrawal timeline for U.S. troops in Afghanistan will remain in place following the departure of General Stanley McChrystal, but will be subject to review by the Afghan Commander’s recently named replacement General David Petraeus.
“When [Petraeus] gets on the ground he will assess the situation for himself, and at some point he will make recommendations to the President,” Gates said during a briefing at the Pentagon. “That’s what any military commander should do.” (0:26)
