TPMTV Interview with Barnett R. Rubin Part II: Afghanistan and Pakistan

Today Talking Points Memo TV has posted the second part of my video interview with Josh Marshall. Part I dealt with the conflict between the US and Iran and Iran's relations with Afghanistan. Part II deals with Pakistan, Afghanistan, and where the main terrorist threat to the US is. Through much of the interview half of my face is shrouded ominously in shadow. This is due to poor lighting, not an attempt to convey a dramatic effect.



TPM introduces the segment as follows:

A Chat with Dr. Barnett Rubin, Part II

How are things going in Afghanistan? Have we botched things so badly that the Taliban are about to take over again? And since al Qaeda, the Taliban and nuclear weapons are all in Pakistan, what happens if Pervez Musharraf falls from power? We asked each of those questions to renowned Afghanistan expert Dr. Barnett Rubin in today's episode of TPMtv.
