bFM Audio: Dr Lafraie on Obama's Afghanistan

• 95bFM Audio: Obama's Afghanistan decision –
  Dr Najibullah Lafraie, from the Otago University Politics Dept, talks about the pending Afghanistan strategy decision from the White House. The Vice President wants to scale back operations and focus on drone strikes of terrorist cells. The commander of US and NATO forces has warned the country might become "Chaos-stan" and wants thousands more troops and a change in tactics. The Defence Secretary says this will be the most important decision Obama makes in his presidency, and wants everyone to shut up until a decision's been made. I'll be talking to (above), whose bio makes for VERY interesting reading:
  Najibullah was the Minister of Information in the Interim Government of Afghanistan in 1989 and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in the Islamic State of Afghanistan after the downfall of the communist regime in 1992. He served in that position until Taliban captured the Kabul City in September 1996. Dr. Lafraie and his family moved to New Zealand in September 2000.
