General Sir Francis Richard Dannatt on Afghanistan

General Sir Francis Richard Dannatt was doing an interview on TMS and discussed the war in Afghanistan.

He talked about the potential of places like Pakistan too, both places which have been blighted by some of those who have installed themselves as a brutal ruling class.
