Petraeus: 'We are in this to win' in Afghanistan

Gen. David Petraeus formally assumed command of the 130,000-strong international force in Afghanistan on Sunday, declaring "we are in this to win" despite rising casualties and growing skepticism about the nearly 9-year-old war.

 

During a ceremony at NATO headquarters, Petraeus received two flags - one for the US and the other for NATO - marking his formal assumption of command. (AP)
