Scott interviews Bonnie Kristian about her new book and an article she wrote recently on America’s war in Somalia. After the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan last summer, Somalia is now America’s longest war.

Scott and Kristian discuss the state of the conflict and examine the war’s place in the Global War on Terror.
