The private equity firm KKG hired him as chairman of KKG International in May, and the New York Historical Society honored him at its annual gala in December. In a contribution to a multi-authored survey published last week by Politico Magazine, Petraeus and co-author Michael Gfoeller argued that one of “The Big Overlooked Trends of 2013” was that of “’reformist’ Arab monarchies.” These include, they write, human rights abuser Dubai, UAE and that veritable desert gulag, Saudi Arabia. Too bad neither Petraeus nor Politico mentioned KKR has branch offices in those countries. ■ Saudi Arabia Joins the U.N. Human Rights Council — Seriously. And speaking of Saudi Arabia, 2013 may well have been “one of the worst years” for human rights abuses in the so-called king- dom, according to human rights lawyer Abdulaziz Alhussan (who fled the country to avoid arrest), but Saudi blogger Hamza Kashgari was surprise-released Oct. 29 after roughly two years in prison for “insulting” Islam via Twitter. Just two weeks later, on Nov.12, the Wahhabi dictatorship was elect- ed to the Geneva-based U.N. Human Rights Council. There it will serve alongside other paragons of human rights including communist China, communist Cuba and thug-o-cratic Russia. ■ Leaving Afghanistan — For Good. The year is ending and we still don’t have a bi-lateral agreement with Afghanistan, and thank goodness. Here’s hoping we never do, and that we leave Afghanistan as we left Iraq — for good. What is vital, however, is finally to recognize the fiasco that coun- terinsurgency doctrine (COIN) has wrought so that COIN is permanently discredited.

A6• The World • Monday, December 30,2013 DILBERT How to win the balance transfer game There’s nothing fun about credit-card debt. An outstanding balance of $5,000 that is subject to 19.99 per- FRANK AND ERNEST cent interest means you’re paying about $1,000 a year just in interest. Imagine if that $1,000 could go directly to repaying the balance instead. You could pay it off in record time instead of string- ing it out for many years. If you’re carrying credit- card debt, playing the balance transfer game could be the way out THE BORN LOSER EVERYDAY of your heavy CHEAPSKATE debt situation. Just beware: There are pitfalls in the balance transfer game Mary that, if Hunt not ZITS avoided, could end up making your situation worse, not better. Playing the balance transfer game well requires financial maturity and personal discipline. Are you up to it? Should you wish to play, you’ll need to adopt this strategy to come out a winner: Find a balance transfer CLASSIC PEANUTS credit card application. You want one that offers at least 15 months of 0 percent interest, has no annual fee and a small, if any,balance transfer. Search THE FAMILY CIRCUS at IndexCreditCards.com. Fine print. Read the application very carefully. Know exactly what is in the terms and conditions before you apply. Divide to conquer. Once you have the account and you FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE transfer the balance, divide your outstanding balance by the number of months in the 0 percent introductory period. Lock eyeballs on that number. That is the amount you must pay each month for this to work. Do not use the new card. This account is for one thing only — to facilitate paying the balance to $0. Cancel the account from ROSE IS ROSE which you transferred the balance. Just close it and do not look back. Yes, this could knock a few points off your credit score for a few months. But paying off the new account quickly will help to recover those points. Sounds easy enough, but let’s not fool ourselves. Paying the balance quickly is going to take a lot of hard work and discipline. And LUANN there are pitfalls you must avoid: Switcheroo. The terms and conditions will state that you may not qualify for the account for which you are applying, and in which case the bank may offer you a different account. This could be a big problem if you do not notice and then go ahead and transfer your balances to that account that may not have $0 GRIZZWELLS interest and may also be subject to huge transfer fees. If this happens, you are not obligated to accept a different account. Double trouble. If you fail to close the first account once you transfer the entire balance, prepare for trouble. Emergencies happen, and if you keep that account active, you’ll find a way to use that account for something. Gradually the balance will creep back to what it was before. Transfer fees. Ideally, you MODERATELY CONFUSED KIT ’N’ CARLYLE HERMAN will find a balance transfer account that has $0 transfer fees. They do exist, but you have to search. Most have a transfer fee of $5 or 3 percent of the balance transferred, whichever is more. Pulling off a credit-card balance transfer can offer a fabulous opportunity to pay off your credit-card debt. But it requires a steady hand a strong mind. You must be focused, determined and fully committed to a strategy that gives you the best chance at winning the game.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles and San Diego Chargers all won games in dramat- ic fashion Sunday to clinch spots in the NFL playoffs. The defending champion Ravens were eliminated when they lost in Cincinnati. Packers 33, Bears 28: Aaron Rodgers fired a 48-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb in the final minute, and the Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears to capture the NFC North championship. Back after missing seven games with a broken left collarbone, Rodgers found a wide-open Cobb on fourth-and-8 to wipe out a one-point deficit with 38 seconds left. Green Bay will host San Francisco in the playoffs next weekend. The Bears had one final drive, but Jay Cutler’s deep pass to Alshon Jeffery was intercepted by Sam Shields on the final play. That gave the Packers (8-7-1) their third straight division title and fifth postseason appearance in a row. It also kept the Bears (8-8) out of the playoffs for the sixth time in seven years.
