Frontline "Afghanistan: The Other War"
Canadian soldier standing guard "The Taliban and Al Qaeda are preparing to launch new attacks," President George W. Bush said in a speech this past winter about the worsening security situation in Afghanistan. "Our strategy is not to be on the defense, but to go on the offense." In response to stepped up threats by the Taliban, Bush has pledged $10 billion more to stabilize and rebuild the country, and he's committed thousands more combat troops in the run up to what many expect to be the bloodiest fighting in Afghanistan since the U.S.-led invasion in fall 2001.
In Afghanistan: The Other War, Frontline/WORLD correspondent Sam Kiley goes deep inside the Western campaign to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people, village by village, as a resurgent Taliban threatens to retake more of the country.
