Jim Hoagland

This article reflects Jim's oppinion that we should definatly pull people out of Iraq and start placing them in Pakistan in an attempt to combat terrorism there. He explains that it is a much larger threat then Iraq is and more then Afghanistan as well. He thinks that it is very important for the president hopefulls should all make this some of thier primary concerns. He also questions the apointment made by President Bush of a new Pentagon central commander. The author believes this is a ploy to keep and even add more focus on Iraq and not so much on Afghanistan. Hoagland does do a pretty good job with the article. I would ahve liked to see him do more with talks about Pakistan. He focused most of his article on how the Iraq and Afghanistan situation is going, and didnt even really mention Pakiistan untill the last few paragraphs. It seemed like the title is a little misleading being that it seemed to me he wanted to focus more on Afghanistan then Pakistan.
