Clinton’s Afghanistan Dinner « The Washington Independent
Laura Rozen reports that Secretary of State Clinton is having dinner tonight with a bunch of Afghanistan experts:
“„Sources told *The Cable *that among those invited are J. Alexander Thier, of the U.S. Institute of Peace, and Jonah Blank, a South Asia advisor with the Senate Foreign Relations committee. Neither would comment. Both advised the Obama campaign on South Asia issues. Blank recently accompanied Vice President Joseph Biden on a trip to the region (Biden, incidentally, had breakfast with Clinton this morning, according to his official schedule). Thier is the author of a forthcoming USIP report on “the future of Afghanistan.”
One hopes they’ll talk about the possible loss of Manas air base, though admittedly that’s more of a midnight-snack discussion. (Fourth Meal?)
