Then we get an analysis of President Obama’s exit strategy from Afghanistan and the extent to which it does not conform with the reality on the ground. Christine Fair, a former UN Political Officer who served in Afghanistan joins us to discuss what was not said about relations with Pakistan and what will happen to the massive amounts of military material when the U.S. starts its exit in 2014.
