Advances and uncertainty in Afghanistan
It has been a tragic couple of weeks for U.S. troops in Afghanistan. What is the status of the situation in Afghanistan? Has the Taliban retreated and when can U.S. troops withdraw? Our partners at the BBC talk with U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Ryan Crocker about America’s long-standing involvement in the region and how we can avoid making the same mistakes that led to 9/11.
