Should be someone that should probably step down over what happened because i dont think anybody can say this policy made -- to surrenderer to the taliban and extremists that may end up developing another base which to contact attacks. >> john, i see your expression. do you want to respond? >> well, i -- charlie clearly disagrees with the policy decision to get out and a significant number of members of congress do, a significant number of people who were involved in past administrations disagre...

Political analyst. dan, youre a veteran of this war that is now officially over in terms of american involvement. what was your reaction to what the president had to say today? >>. >> i appreciate the president taking responsibility and i thought particularly stating the reasons why we needed to end this forever war and the reasons why this evacuation, this inevitable conclusion has been the right thing to do, he spoke the truth that three previous administrations refused to do. >> let me zero i...

The memorial event commemorating 9/11 unless he declassifies american intelligence documents detailing what the government knew about 9/11 before 9/11. thats still classified. brett is one of those family members who joins us tonight he lost his father on 9/11. brent thanks so much for coming on. its hard to believe as we approach the 20 year anniversary, the us government through all the different administrations has continued to hide intel about what it knew before 9/11. why are they hiding th...

Thats why i offered an amendment to name the taliban in afghanistan as a terrorist organization. turns out theyre not. weve left that off the table as a bargaining chip. you can see where that has gotten us. its time to name them as a terrorist organization to block this administration and future administrations and private citizens from financially aiding the taliban in afghanistan. thats why the amendment matters. thats why i offered it. i just walked out of the armed services committee room. ...

To extremists who may end up developing another base from which to conduct attacks. >> john, i see your expression. you want to respond? >> well, charlie clearly disagrees with the policy decision to get out and a significant number of members of congress do. a significant number of people who were involved in past administrations disagree with the decision. but joe biden was very clear on when he ran for the presidency that thats what he wanted to do, and i dont think we should hold our breath ...

Logistical operation they pulled off. but tlos hear the president lay out once again his case for why he has pulled all u.s. troops out of the country. they should be focused on doing what is in the national security interest of americans and putting americas national security interests first. and that was what shaped and guided his decision. he, of course, though, certainly has been facing criticism. not just from republicans but members of his own party from past administrations. and while the...

Understanding for either the problem of the past or the next problem. >> well, we could discuss this for a lot more time. i think you just put your finger on something. we had a succession f administrations looking for enough stability to get out. >> by my count, we had ten policies in 20 years. >> and thats probably being generous. >> thats specific changes of policy. when you say why cant you see we couldnt get it right in 20 years, we couldnt stick to one plan for two. >> right. right. ambass...

Administrations. so is there a case to be made that the troops should have or could have been withdrawn? im open minded to an argument that we couldve stayed with a very limited number of troops. the president got tired of taking that message, but the point where joe biden is that if he had the country on the side to withdraw the troops, why did he not do it right? why did he not do it well? when i hear that we have evacuated 125,000 people, thats nothing to brag about, its because we abandon 12...

Administrations have had is their objective drawing down the american troop presence in afghanistan to minimal levels. that was true president obama, that was true a president obama, that was true a president trump and it is certainly true of president biden, who carried forward with the goal. the debate was over how to do it in the most effective fashion possible, and i think at the time there was debate over whether the withdrawal timetable was to accelerated and should have been longer. again...

Whats gonna happen in the days and weeks and months to come. >> the republicans are largely talking to friendly microphones. theyre shooting political free tropes. so campaigns are not that. their political combat. you say something, your opponent to say something else. i think at the end of the day, theyre not gonna argue that. theyre gonna have it both ways. theyre gonna criticize the last couple of weeks, without trying to take ownership on what they would have done differently. >> you know t...
