I haven't listened to this event yet, but I certainly plan to. Here's how Brookings describes it:
Today, the Center for 21st Century Security and Intelligence at Brookings hosted a discussion on the upcoming elections in Afghanistan as well as the planned drawdown of foreign troops by the end of 2014. Participants included General John Allen (USMC, Ret.), former commander of NATO International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and U.S. Forces in Afghanistan and a Brookings distinguished fellow; Ronald Neumann, U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan from 2005-07 and currently president of the American Academy of Diplomacy; and Najib Sharifi, senior analyst at Afghanistan Analysis and Awareness, a Kabul-based think tank. Brookings Senior Fellow Michael O'Hanlon, recently back from a trip to Afghanistan, moderated the discussion.
