the Petraeus Strategy

In an op ed piece in today’s Wall Street Journal Senators McCain and Lieberman    have this to say:

"The recent National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq was unequivocal on
this point: ‘Changing the mission of Coalition forces from a primarily
counterinsurgency and stabilization role’ — the Petraeus strategy — ‘to a primary combat support role for Iraqi forces and counterterrorist
operations" — which most congressional Democrats have been pressing
for — "would erode security gains achieved thus far.’"

Am I alone in not having a clue as to the difference between the Petraeus strategy and that of the congressional Democrats?
