The Cable's Josh Rogin reports that not only are Vice President Joe Biden
and the unanimously-confirmed commanding general for Afghanistan David
Petraeus on the same page when it comes to the war strategy, Biden was one
of those who recommended replacing Stanley McChrystal with Petraeus.

"There is not a Biden versus Petraeus dynamic here," the official said.
"Both the vice president and the general signed onto the president's policy
and both are committed to it." That policy, the official pointed out,
included both the surge of 30,000 troops and the July 2011 drawdown date,
when the administration says a yet-to-be-determined number of troops will
begin to depart.
