Gen. Dempsey, Gen. Dunford, and U.S. policies in Iraq and Afghanistan

05/05/2015

Gen. Dunford continues Gen. Dempsey's policy of caution in Iraq and Afghanistan. Both officers are concerned about the manner in which the U.S. undertook its missions in Afghanistan and Iraq and are making an effort to correct errors made under the Bush administration. Gen. Dempsey is concerned about the hasty training of the Iraqi army under his predecessors leading to some commanders being accused of heading sectarian death squads. Gen. Dempsey's cautious approach so that some of the mistakes made under a previous administration are not repeated, is exceeded by president Obama who has opted not to act in situations where Dempsey and most of the president's advisors have favored acting.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
