NATO allies question Afghan commitment

The BBC’s Jonathon Marcus speaks to us about British Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s offer to host a major international conference on Afghanistan, seeking to shift security responsibilities from foreign forces to Afghans. We also ask Robert Hunter, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and now a senior fellow at the RAND Corporation, whether Britain, Germany, and France are looking for an exit strategy.
