Counterinsurgency


I’m having trouble typing these days due to some inflammation in my wrist so my recommendations will be short. On Oct 5, 2007 Charlie Rose had David Kilcullen who is described as a Counterinsurgency expert. Kilcullen has apparently advised David Petraeus.

I found this episode interesting and I hope to watch it again to determine what I think about his assessments.

The comments on Charlie Rose’ site are also worth checking out.
