BBC News Channel - HARDtalk, Zalmay Khalilzad, Former US Ambassador to the UN, and Afghanistan

Stephen Sackur discusses US foreign policy with a former US ambassador in Afghanistan.

With the US gaining foreign policy confidence, Stephen Sackur asks former US ambassador in Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, if Obama is any closer to curing his Af/Pak headache.

After announcing the killing of Osama Bin Laden, President Obama declared: 'We can do whatever we set our minds to'. After the events of the last decade in Afghanistan and Pakistan, that's quite a claim so is the new found sense of confidence justified? HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur speaks to Zalmay Khalilzad, who served the Bush administration as ambassador in Afghanistan, and the UN. Is America any closer to curing its Af/Pak headache?
