Ex-US official reveals internal war over Afghan policy - NY Daily News | NewsCred SmartWire: "Clinton, who stepped down after four years as secretary of state in January, whenever possible went directly to Obama in regular private weekly meetings which she had insisted on as a condition for taking the job.That allowed her to get "around the so-called Berlin Wall of staffers who shielded Obama from any option or idea they did not want him to consider," Nasr wrote in the excerpt in the online Foreign Policy magazine Monday.
"Clinton got along well with Obama, but on Afghanistan and Pakistan the State Department had to fight tooth and nail just to have a hearing at the White House," he said.
"Had it not been for Clinton's tenacity and the respect she commanded, the State Department would have had no influence on policymaking whatsoever.""
