Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) questions Sec. Richard Boucher at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Afghanistan.
Sen. Corker compares the Afghani opium industry to Tennessee tobacco farmers, and asks what feasible strategies have been worked out to re-establish Afghanistan’s economy. Sec. Boucher outlines plans for a farm-to-market road system that would open up new jobs and bring in additional income for poor poppy farmers. (1:10)
