Condoleeza Rice is telling Congress today that the Bush strategy for Iraq is the “successful” one they used in Afghanistan.
Here’s Condi:
“Our strategy is to clear, hold, and build,” she said. “The enemy’s strategy is to infect, terrorize, and pull down.”
I couldn’t find a mention anywhere that indicated what the end to this was supposed to be. However, shooting for the Afghanistan benchmark is probably a good idea, as the two countries have some clear similarities already.
