Does Obama Have a Strategy for Victory in Afghanistan?

Hosted by

President Obama wants to dial down in Iraq and up the ante in Afghanistan. His plan to send 17,000 more troops to Afghanistan is meeting increasing resistance from his liberal supporters at home and skepticism from some allies. Is there a better strategy? What alternatives has the President considered? What is the military objective? What is the exit strategy? Does history prove that Afghanistan cannot be tamed? Lawrence O'Donnell guest hosts. Also, the administration calls for expanded oversight power of financial system, and how some of California's homeless became TV talk show celebrities.
