Civilian control over our military. the rank and file had no say into whether we would turn deserved retribution on democracy based on the correcting leaders corrects all ills. and those overseas werent the ones who perpetrated the foley that took us to iraq. think about those that you know who went to afghanistan often for several tours of duty. they rightly believed they were there to avenge the losses of 9/11. and in that mission they succeeded. now and in the future, history will judge our p...

Because thats where the attack on our country originated on september the 11th. we had a responsibility to root out the taliban and al qaeda organizations, and we did that. we got that done in 2001 and 2002. we then went on to establish a government and a presence in afghanistan, to help establish a government and presence in afghanistan, but we didnt complete that. we then went into iraq with our military and we were engaged in a lengthy military campaign in iraq and never finished establishing...

Distribution. >> and with hindsight, it will potentially be 20/20 here. this president has done what three previous administrations have failed to do. there have been those that have afforded the word courage to president biden for having actually done this, and yet theres been a lot of criticism in the administration, kind of upset about a lot of the hawkished criticism from the media and otherwise. where does that lead overall? i mean, does this create tension between the president and the med...

Maybe those institutions that profited owe something to the institutions that were serving these students when the other colleges would not. >> adam harris, thank you so much for your time. the book is "the state must provide." the search is back on for a new "jeopardy!" host. at the top of the hour, the former president in alabama tonight for yet another political rally in a covid hot spot. dont worry, im not going to make you listen to it. the pandemic is still raging in the south as is repu...

Effort. there has been open criticism about that. i guess he was speaking about the conversations he himself is having with various leaders, but people in their administrations have been making those comments. when it comes to voters, its a different question and a lot of mr boyd andstatements seem to be domestic driven. he knows a large majority of americans wanted the war to end and that is partly the war to end and that is partly the reason he asked. partly the reason he took this step. there...

Is that what happened here? >> i dont think outbid. you have to remember, in afghanistan, they have a traditional way of war there where militia commanders and military commanders, they kind of put their finger to the wind to see which ways things are blowing and they want to be on the victorious side. it became clear as the taliban moved city to city, provincial capital to capital, they were taking on and if youre an afghan commander and youre isolated and you dont have a lot of faith in your g...

Decision to get out. we heard that again from the president on monday. we heard it again on wednesday. in that abc news interview. . so focus on defending the decision and missing the element of criticism being launched at them about how. and we know the president will make remarks tomorrow. the public schedule indicates those remarks will be focused on the process of trying on get these afghans out. you know, weve heard a number of lines of rationale from the administration for why they hadnt g...

Say to the country? >> i think the president needs to continue to reiterate basically what i said and what he has been saying, he will not pass this buck to another administration, he will not prolong this pointless war. he will not risk life and limbs for a country that wouldnt fight for itself. so the administration should continue put on the as much -- i think he should continue to point out this is the right decision. its a decision that three previous administrations put off, and were going...

Think about it, because this mess that started, it should have been handled in a different way. the way that both administrations were talking about these peace deals, it was a failure from the beginning. what theyre trying right now, as you heard the pentagon confirm that there are al qaeda leaders on the ground, so i just have one question for them, is that youre saying, asking u.s. citizens to make your way to the airport and then youre saying the taliban will not do anything to them. what if...

Capitulation agreement of 2020. the taliban didnt defeat us. we defeated ourselves. >> "the new york times" notes neither trump nor pompeo has responded to such criticism with contrition, surprise, surprise. president bidens defense of the withdrawal from afghanistan and the reckoning over how we got here through multiple administrations is where we start at this hour. michael crowley, "new york times" diplomatic correspondent, joins us, also with us, susannah george, "washington post" afghanist...
