Pakistani journalist Ahmed Rashid is the author of "Descent into Chaos: The US and the Disaster in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia." Rashid acted as an advisor to Richard Holbrooke, President Obama's special envoy to the region, and tells Jim Fleming that the U.S. rushed into Afghanistan after 9/11 in search of Al-Qaeda, but was never interested in the country's real problems. He feels the Obama administration has a different attitude.
