Laura Rozen reportsthat 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 Bidenon 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?)
