3. Gen Petraeus faces confirmation to lead Afghan war

Gen David Petraeus has indicated to a Senate committee that the security situation in Afghanistan is "tenuous".
...
Gen Petraeus said he supports the president's plan to begin withdrawing troops in July 2011, but emphasised it is the "beginning of a process".

"My sense is that the tough fighting will continue; indeed, it may get more intense in the next few months," he said.
