This is a surge capture, of the same type as occurred in Iraq during the surge there. It is a vindication of Gen. Petraeus’ strategies, not a condemnation of the Bush administration.

Agreed. Just as in Iraq, the Afghan war has morphed and changed over the years. Things were quite quiet until Iraq was won and no longer a good front line for the terrorists. The emphasis is now Afghanistan which just so happens to be on a different watch. No fault to Obama, whoever won the election was going to see the battle intensify.
