Reuters reports : "If there are people who are willing to reconcile (with the government), then that would be a positive step in some of these areas that have actually been spiraling downward," said Petraeus, who will soon take up responsibility for U.S. operations in Afghanistan. ... Petraeus said negotiations with insurgents willing to consider reconciliation could reduce violence by isolating hard-core militants, which is what occurred in Iraq's Anbar province when Sunni tribesmen joined U.S. forces against al Qaeda. If General Petraeus can say it, why can't Obama and McCain say it? Petraeus' remarks didn't explicitly contradict longstanding U.S. policy, which is that it's ok to talk to individual Taliban fighters to induce them to lay down their weapons and support the Afghan government. But invoking "negotiations" and the example of Iraq opens the door to something broader. In Iraq the U.S. did more than talk to individual fighters to induce them to lay down their weapons.

Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, and Civilians of Multi-National Force-Iraq: It has been the greatest of privileges to have been your commander for the past 19 months. During that time, we and our civilian and Iraqi partners have been engaged in an exceedingly complex, difficult, and important task. And in the face of numerous challenges, we and our partners have helped bring new hope to a country that was besieged by extremists and engulfed in sectarian violence . “When I took command...I noted that the situation in Iraq was hard but not hopeless . You have proven that assessment to be correct .” When I took command of Multi-National Force-Iraq in February 2007, I noted that the situation in Iraq was hard but not hopeless.
