Bruce Riedel on Pakistan's Implosion

Bruce Riedel discusses just how close Islamabad is to collapse and why we shouldn’t fool ourselves into thinking the situation is getting better there.

TNI Editor Justine Rosenthal sits down with Bruce Riedel-formerly of the CIA and the point man for Obama's recently completed AfPak policy task force-to discuss why the threat of collapse in Pakistan is more real than ever, what it will take to push the country over the edge and why any obituary of al-Qaeda is premature.
