Petraeus tells CIA analysts to heed troops on war
Appears to be disconnect on the assessment. Heed my troops generals you idiots!

More on the temporary local Afghan specific tactical successes, much, much less on the strategic regional implications. A more balanced report. Oh, ok, I think I get it.

It's the National Intelligence Estimate (NEI) report card that is important. Not the FACTS! Sorry General, I'll have to go with the CIA 'desk analysts' who see the larger picture on this one. By the way, best of luck with that "early in the process" input from unit commanders.
