Propaganda videos of claiming bases and u.s.-funded equipment that theyve seized from the afghan national forces. the optics of that are extremely alarming. so i think as a journalist covering it, we are still getting out and about and are hoping to sort of travel around the country during exiting on the ground. we were interviewing the head of peace talks between the afghan government and the taliban a few days ago, and we were at his residence and we heard a car bomb explode outside. this is s...

Troops over the last two decades of war there. the fate of kabul airport, whether the turks are going to be helping americans secure that so its not overrun by the taliban. and, of course, the future of counterterrorism operations in afghanistan. whether or not the u.s. is going to be able to carry out counterterrorism missions there, given that all of our bases are no longer going to be available. so having to find those military bases in and around afghanistan is another kind of big feat that ...
