投票结束后,民主党参议员拉斯·范戈尔德直言,彼得雷乌斯是合适人选,但“无论谁出任最高指挥官,总统贝拉克·奥巴马的对阿富汗战略已经产生反面效果”。

This is one of the paradox of American policy. The war on Afghanistan started with the use of money as the main tool. The Northern Alliance (NA) was actually a group of warlords (legacy  of Afghan war on Soviet Union) that had only a remote semblance of unity. It is the US which practically used money as the enticement  to form a singular objective to fight the Taliban.Two weeks after 9/11, the agents of CIA flew to Panjsher Valley to hand out $3 millions to NA leaders, followed shortly with another $10 million. The continual payment (or bribe) was an essential ingredient to ensure these warlords' support of the Karzai administration. The exemplary example is General Fahim who bought up property and an entire gold market in Kabul. The Americans obviously underestimated the complexities of Afghanistan especially its intricate tribal relations. However the fatal flaw in the war policy is that there was no nation building objective in the initial plan.
