How Was Afghanistan Lost to the Taliban - Again?
After a 20-year war that cost the United States two trillion dollars and led to nearly 200,000 deaths, the Taliban are back in power - and offering safe haven to Al Qaeda once again. General David H. Petraeus, CNAS Senior Fellow and Director of the Indo-Pacific Security Program Lisa Curtis, Afghan ambassador to the US Roya Rahmani and others, bring us "in the room" to explain how this debacle came to pass, and warn us of the consequences.
Listen to the full episode from the In the Room with Peter Bergen Podcast.
