It was an honor and a pleasure to speak with On Point today about our efforts to protect and evacuate vulnerable Afghans.

I’m glad to see my team’s year-old SIGAR report is still valuable in explaining why we lost the war. Thank you Fareed Zakaria for drawing attention to it.

Excited to announce the publication of a paper I wrote for Interpeace mapping out different stabilization stakeholders, analyzes how stabilization efforts are conceived and structured, and offers best practices for interventions. interpeace.org/wp-content/upl…

I'm proud to have led the talented team that wrote SIGAR's latest report, "Why the Afghan Security Forces Collapsed,” which details the short and long term factors leading to the ANDSF’s collapse. sigar.mil/pdf/evaluation…

It was an honor to testify before the German Bundestag (Parliament) about lessons from our failed collective efforts to rebuild Afghanistan. Full video here: bundestag.de/dokumente/text…

The Foreign Service Journal (AFSA) published an essay I wrote detailing how U.S. officials are incentivized to distort and embellish about progress in U.S. foreign assistance, why it's often not their fault, and what to do about it. afsa.org/foreign-assist…
