The retired general who commanded America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan knows from experience what Israel is facing in its fight against the terrorist group Hamas.
Retired Gen. David Petraeus, who commanded America's wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan, knows from experience what Israel is facing in its war against Hamas – sending an army, even one as powerful as Israel's, into the densely-populated neighborhoods of Gaza. 'This is going to be a very, very tough fight,' he told CBS News. 'I almost can't imagine a more challenging contextual set of circumstances here than what they face.
'Martin asked, 'What do you think Hamas hoped to achieve with this attack?''What their leaders have said was to get the world's attention.''Could the Hamas objective have been as simple as 'kill Jews'?''That's always objective,' Petraeus replied. 'Destroy Israel.'Hamas killed Jews, but did not destroy Israel. And now, Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas.
