“We were briefed by our military commanders that the night raids … are making a huge impact on the Taliban …,” said Graham, adding: “This didn’t come up at all” in discussions with Karzai.

“We talked about, quite frankly, looking long term with Afghanistan about having two air bases in a permanent fashion in Afghanistan to provide stability, so at the end of the day, there was no discussion about a difference between Petraeus and Karzai, in terms of strategy,” he said.
