The New Kabul

Listen Later

Atlantic fellow Bushra Seddique tells the story of the moment everything changed for her in Kabul, and The Atlantic's Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg talks to retired General David Petraeus about the war in Afghanistan and the mistakes made both during his time in command and as the U.S. military withdrew.

Background reading:

  • Here is how Bushra Seddique escaped Aghanistan.
  • David Petraeus believes there was another path the U.S. could have taken.
  • A marine and an army veteran make a case that Afghanistan was lost long before the U.S. left.


    • Show credits: in this episode you heard music from Ahmad Zahir and news tape from Al Jazeera.
