General Petraeus' Five Take-Aways From The Middle East Conflicts

摘要

Speaking at the World Affairs Council in Philadelphia a few months ago, General David H. Petraeus (Ret) offered what he called "five take-aways" from the conflicts in the Middle East. "One of the most effective and highly decorated military leaders in recent U.S. history, General David H. Petraeus - a four-star general whose distinguished military career spanned over 37 years and culminated in six straight commands (five of which were in combat) - will join Council members to address the most significant global challenges facing us today, including ongoing international security issues and the tasks of strategic leadership in the 21st century," the World Affairs Council (WAC) in Philadelphia announced prior to General Petraeus' address.
