Obama considering Afghanistan options
President Obama will continue to consult with his war advisers this week about how best to move forward in Afghanistan. One question he’s reportedly been asking is, “who is our adversary in Afghanistan?” We speak with Meghan O’Sullivan, former deputy national security advisor for Iraq and Afghanistan in the George W. Bush administration. She was also involved with the political strategy around the surge in Iraq, which brought insurgents into the political process. Also talking with us is Fotini Christia, MIT professor of political science.
