In a vote of 95 to 2 , The U.S. Senate confirmed the promotion of General David Petraeus as the new chief of U.S. Central Command. General Petraeus has been the guiding force and the man in charge of the 15-month surge that has brought about the amazing progress seen in Iraq to which one commander, Major-General Mark Hertling, believes has hit the " irreversible point ". General Petraeus will still in charge of overseeing Iraq, he will also be responsible for addressing an increasingly violent insurgency in Afghanistan and other important national security interests throughout the CentCom region," said Levin, D-Michigan. Among those other issues is Iran, which the United States accuses of meddling in the five-year-old Iraq war and of pursuing nuclear weapons. Iran conducted a series of missile tests on Wednesday, and Israel conducted an air force exercise over the eastern Mediterranean Sea in June that U.S. officials suggest was meant as a show of strength toward the Islamic republic. President Bush named Petraeus to the Central Command post after the March resignation of Adm. William Fallon, who said reports that he was at odds with the Bush administration over how to deal with Iran had made it impossible for him to continue in that job. Petraeus led the Army's 101st Airborne Division during the 2003 invasion of Iraq and drew praise for his management of the occupation forces in the northern part of the country, including the ci ...

ThreatsWatch recently participated in a symposium on the significance of al-Qaeda Senior Leadership (AQSL) published today by FrontPage Magazine . It is a pretty good conversation on the subject with Dr. Rohan Gunaratna, Sayed Adnan Ali Shah Bukhari, Daveed Gartenstein-Ross and me. Following Dr. Gunaratna, the first question posed to ThreatsWatch and my response is below. FP: Steve Schippert, what accounts for the failure to successfully target and neutralize the core leadership of al-Qaeda? And how relevant is this core leadership? Schippert: There is no single point of failure, if we want to use that term, to successfully target and liquidate bin Laden, al-Zawahiri and the rest of al-Qaeda’s principal actors. There have been many dynamics involved. In my view, beginning in 2002, it simply came down to choices. Step back in time and recall that, in the midst of cries - much from within America itself - of impending doom and quagmire for us in Afghanistan, our military made rather shockingly short work of the fabled mujahideen on their home turf in Afghanistan. The problem after was one of invisible lines in the sand. As spectacularly as our military and intelligence performed, they were not and are not omnipotent. Much of the very wily and experienced terrorist leadership chose to stay ahead of the sword’s edge and fled into Pakistan or Iran, where they largely remain still today in welcoming or forged sanctuaries. We could have ...
