Petraeus .

has a 41-year military career in the United States David Petraeus is about to become CIA director, began his next battle. He has served as the top U.S. commander in Iraq, U.S. Central Command and commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, the U.S. military has a doctorate in general rare. His military training materials prepared by the Pentagon as a war on terror “Collection.”

former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said: “History will prove that he is the country’s most outstanding field commander, is set in this era soldiers, scholars, politicians in one of the outstanding personalities.”

“most innovative commander”

2010 in June, when the commander of U.S. Central Command, Petraeus was appointed in Afghanistan, suddenly the United States Army Commander, 9 days later went to the Afghan capital of Kabul. In many people’s eyes, he will face an almost “mission impossible” – to stabilize Afghanistan war, to restore social order.

Obama this appointment, his own reason. 4 years ago, in Iraq, Petraeus had a similar experience. Running out of his politics instead of swords to become the former “slaughterhouse” theme, although there are still incidents of violence occurred, but the size and number were significantly decreased.

if further back, back in 2003 during the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Petraeus in Mosul when he was commander of the 101st Airborne Assault Division, once in the maintenance of social order, local integration in many achievements. At that time, the Iraqi government shut down, economic stagnation, for all, the whole country into a “powder keg.”彼得雷乌斯派 troops stationed in the community to do its utmost to stop violence, rehabilitation of urban water supply, electricity, to ensure that hospitals, schools opened, replace the local government to organize elections, to restart economic growth. Only one year, Mosul became a relatively peaceful and prosperous Iraq “islands.” A year later, the end of the 101st Airborne Assault Division stationed in Mosul evacuate the city as quickly as other cities in Iraq, back into chaos and violence.

Mosul, Petraeus won the U.S. experience as “commander of the most innovative ‘reputation, he was soon given a new task: develop plans to train a new Iraqi armed forces. Later, he returned home, Army Chief of Staff Peter Basescu Shoemaker presided over the Army sent his combined-arms training center, indicating only one: “Restructuring the Army, David.”

various branches of the Army Synthetic Training Center is the U.S. military training, expand the “nerve center” Petraeus’s work may be “completely change the entire Army of the operating mechanism.” He improved every aspect of preparing for the Army, the results were finishing their experience income “counterinsurgency,” a book “Field Manual” chapter. Book now as this area is the Pentagon’s “Collection.”

It is because of this writing, Petraeus was sent to Iraq again, its theory into practice. He was in Iraq make a wide, both Americans, but also Iraqis, it was his 41-year military career, the most memorable years.

much more complex situation in Afghanistan, Petraeus understand that to achieve results here have to pay more hard work. 13 months ago, in his efforts, though still in Afghanistan when there is violence and conflict, but basically to avoid the “full catastrophe”, which is sufficient to allow the Obama administration determined to start implementing the withdrawal plan. As Petraeus said: “I always thought that the withdrawal from Afghanistan would be very difficult, but it can eventually achieve.”

the central figure in the secret war

Petraeus had planned to spend the summer in Afghanistan, to prepare for the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan, but he suddenly received Obama’s newly appointed to succeed 列昂帕内塔 as U.S. CIA.

since the end of 2008, the United States began to take a secret war, special forces and CIA Special Operations continue to enhance cooperation efforts, many in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and Afghanistan to carry out joint operations. Obama’s recent adjustment of cabinet members, you can see clues of this strategic change, for example, former CIA Director Panetta served as secretary of defense and so on.

as the former U.S. Central Command and former commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, Gen. David Petraeus, the U.S. secret war has long been the central figure. In the army, he is one of the few with special emphasis on in-depth understanding of the garrison commander of one of the local social identity. Early in the dissertation, he pointed out: “We do not want to take the time to understand each other’s features, including confrontation with our society, we support the government and our enemies.”

2008 years as When Central Command commander, Gen. David Petraeus, the United States in Afghanistan and Pakistan’s intelligence is very unhappy, he persuaded the head of the CIA enhanced ability to collect intelligence throughout the region, and Central Command to establish a special unit of gain intelligence to do independent analysis.

he went to Yemen to supervise the implementation of the secret war plans. There, he saw the U.S. Special Forces “Green Beret” special forces training for Yemen; “Delta” force, “Seal” commandos and helicopter wing military cooperation with the Yemeni military operations; CIA Special The Department and the Pentagon’s Joint Special Operations also appeared in the land of Yemen, carrying secret missile fleet and perform tasks from time to time a small plane flying from the air … …

for his new work, Peter Reus understand that it is different from the previously stressed that the ground war will and perseverance, but to use new technology to track and assassinate the U.S. against the “bad guys.” In the future, he will be more dealing with state secrets, Operations Division. The agency recruited a group engaged in clandestine activities, espionage, this is a particularly sensitive groups, special care is needed to treat. Petraeus previously encountered many such people, know the best spies are a loner, not by common sense out the card. He said: “This is the person you want, but also you need to train people who are horse racing, and Sai Mage outside need gentle care.”

has a doctorate in general

CIA is not only an action department, but also an intelligence analysis unit. Over the past 20 years, although it made a series of tactical victories, but the strategy is a series of setbacks and combat. For example, from the “base” of the threat, provided that it can obtain a sufficient quantity of intelligence, can effectively prevent the “9.11″ incident; whenever it recognizes there is no conclusive evidence that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, the Bush administration launched the invasion of Iraq would not. This spring, it failed to predict the occurrence of a series of riots in the Arab region, leading to some U.S. intelligence agencies are closely linked to national leaders have fall, thus affecting the U.S. war on terror in the Middle East.

and Petraeus is seen as a suitable candidate to solve these problems. Although he appears unlikely to make an immediate difference to the CIA, but he’s a good educational background and track record, as people have expectations of him.

Petraeus said, his father was a “heart stubborn, grumpy old Dutch masters,” was his own education, at all times “never throw in the towel.” Whenever did not meet this standard, he would roar loudly staring eyes: “As a result, boy, the results!” The statement has been urging the Petraeus continues to advance.

Petraeus graduated from West Point in 1974, because too young and did not participate in the Vietnam War. He married the daughter of a boss, after a meteoric rise. 24th Infantry Division when he was commander General John Galvin Huiyanshizhu, appointed him as his aide, suggested that he return to school after studying for graduate degrees. “Improving your knowledge, expand your horizons beyond the M-60 machine gun maximum effective range.” Petraeus has changed the proposal of a lifetime.

he entered Princeton University, “where the gathering of the world’s smartest people, their way of thinking different.” His most memorable is Richard Ullman Professor of International Relations course. At that time, he is still obsessed with the Vietnam War, wrote a paper described the impact of the U.S. military in Vietnam. Results, Ullman gave him a “B +”, comment, wrote: “Although the paper discusses the rational, have some insight, but less profound, too simple, I feel that it is all part of the pile.”

Unable to forget his father’s warning, Petraeus request Ullman give him another chance. This time, he got “A +”, and received his Ph.D. in 1987 for its foundation. For his doctorate, he deliberately kept a low profile. Later, he joked, to do so in order not to let it “ruined my military career,” because the military in the spread of a pun: the military always pay more attention to “general wear muddy boots”, rather than have a beautiful diploma Executive.

“I want to be President”

Petraeus will be inaugurated on September 6, some say he might have started pondering long end of the CIA After a working career. This speculation is not unreasonable, he has always been a person to prepare in advance.

since there are many people remember 2007 as the top U.S. commander in Iraq, the Petraeus and Republican Senator John McCain, and independent Sen. Joe 林赛格林厄姆* Li Boao together, pushing hard to move more troops to Iraq. Graham recalls: “David is the best salesman I remember him in a room to stay in the Senate, I was responsible for blocking senators, they say, ‘I just need five minutes’, and then by David a a convinced he can in two minutes to counterinsurgency explain such a complex system as long as you have seen him, it is difficult to refuse to give him a chance to win. “

such political skills in the The Obama campaign has caused speculation, Senior Assistant Rahm Emanuel, who, as Petraeus is “ready to go on a horseback people,” they do not want to see him lead the Republicans in 2012 presidential election. Petraeus efforts to eliminate their concerns directly to Emanuel that his fears are unfounded.

he said, retired generals should not support a presidential candidate, let alone run for president. A few years ago, a friend sent him an e-mail list list of 12 generals, who later became president, a friend jokingly asked him if he intends to join the list. He mentioned that 13 names – the American Civil War generals 威廉蒂卡姆 Xixieerman – In response, he had a famous saying: “If nominated, I will not run; If elected, I will not serve. “

Now, when someone asked him after the end of term of office of the CIA will do anything, he has a new answer:” Yes, I want to be president – Princeton Princeton’s president. “(in English, the” principal “and” President “with the president) that his desire, perhaps to achieve. (Tang Yun)
