Video of AAP’s Presentation on Capitol Hill

Take a look at the Afghanistan Assumptions Project’s Hill Presentation + Q&A that took place on Capitol Hill on 1/23/24. Our co-directors, Michael Cohen and Chris Preble, presented on our Working Papers 1 and 2, highlighting the assumptions that went into the use of force and how the conflation of Taliban and Al-Qaeda led to senior U.S. policymakers killing any settlement agreement where former Taliban fighters and officials could peacefully integrate back into Afghan society.
