A draft of the National Intelligence Estimate says that the war in Afghanistan is going increasingly badly. The country is in a "downward spiral" into violence and chaos. Now some NATO commanders are saying the war can't be won and the only answer is to find and install a US-friendly dictator and make peace with the Taliban. How did the situation get so bad? And what should the U.S. and its NATO allies do now? Larry speaks with Thomas H. Johnson, professor of National Security Affairs at the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, and Fred Kagan, resident scholar at AEI about this dire situation.
