The Debate Over What To Do In Afghanistan

Right after 9/11, a quick consensus was formed that we had to go into Afghanistan in order to get the terrorists that attacked us. So we went in and wiped the Taliban from power. Now more than seven years later, the Taliban is resurging and all we can do is send in more troops. Katrina vanden Heuvel is one of an increasing number that want to rethink Afghanistan, and she debated Center for American Progress fellow Lawrence Korb on what we should do in that troubled country.

Forget 100 Years Or Even 16 Months, We Can Get Out Of Iraq In A Year

Dr. Lawrence Korb knows his stuff when it comes to our nation's military. Thankfully he decided to go to work for the Center for American Progress and not become another parrot for the Bush Administration. He has a plan that can get us out of Iraq in a year's time and while that may not be much less than sixteen months, it is still four less months where our soldiers run the risk of dying in a country they have no business being in.
