In a Washington Post article on April 19, 2011,  Lt. Gen. David M. Rodriguez described his arrival in Afghanistan in 2007. ” ‘[W]e didn’t know enough…it took us six months to figure out what we were doing… We fought hard every day to understand how Afghanistan worked. But we had a very shallow knowledge.’ “
