How presidents and military leaders misled Americans about the war in Afghanistan
Craig Whitlock, a Washington Post reporter and author of “The Afghanistan Papers: A Secret History of the War,“ explains how presidents and military leaders misled the public about the war in Afghanistan for nearly two decades.

As the U.S. prepares to leave Afghanistan, Whitlock explains how every U.S. president from George Bush to Barack Obama to Donald Trump misled the public about progress in the war. Read more: Subscribe to The Washington Post on YouTube:
