General mckenzie about over the horizon and the capabilities as we look to the future and whats available there. but i think what were seeing in the reports today about asking to use russian bases, thats just another example that we see of the biden administration. theyve really left us in a terrible position that we have to ask the russians to be able to protect the united states from terrorists and we have to ask them to use their installations. thank you. >> i would just reemphasize were not ...

Moving up the chain of command to where i was able to intervene in several cases. general milley and general mckenzie, some people said were glad weve ended this war. is the war on terror over? general milley? >> absolutely not. >> yeah. general mckenzie? >> the war on terror is not over and the war in afghanistan is not over either. >> has the exit from afghanistan made the war more challenging for us or less challenging? with respect to continuing to try and protect the home land and u.s. inte...

European diplomats, diplomats with our closest allies who are concerned about this very thing. we know that americas adversaries watch. they watched the gulf war, made conclusions about american capabilities. they watched americas long involvements in iraq and afghanistan. learned about americas vulnerabilities to fighting insurgencies and so far. we know they watch the exit as well. and the question is, does russia look at u.s. departure from afghanistan and leaving its allies and say, what doe...

Ones that senator reed mentioned early on. specific military lessons we have to take a hard look at. the united states military was tasked under the 2002 agreement to train, man and equip the afghan army, the germans were required to train men and equip the afghan poils. as we built that army and all of its components i think that one error we may have made over time is we made them too dependent on technology and our capabilities. we didnt take in the cultural aspects as much as we should have ...

0 about 100 americans and that figure doesnt change. we need a real accounting for how many people, big difference between 100 and 4000. my biggest takeaway, we have no counter terrorism strategy and milley and mckenzie testifyod this, mckenzie said he is not confident we can prevent al qaeda or isis. >> harris: i am rushing, it is top of the hour, kayleigh and emily, everybody on "outnumbered," quick one for us as we ark wait the panel to reconvene. thanks for watching fox news. our coverage co...

0 theres no doubt in my mind that our efforts prevented an attack on the homeland from afghanistan which was our core original mission. and everyone who served in that war should be proud. your service mattered. beginning in 2011, we steadily drew down our troop numbers, consolidated and closed bases and retrograded equipment from afghanistan. at the peak in 2011, we had 97,000 u.s. troops alongside 41,000 nato troops in afghanistan. ten years later, when the ambassador signed the doha agreement...

For quite some time, and he can now even stronger make the argument that europe needs to step up, that they need to really strengthen their defence capabilities and co—ordinate more, and this obviously goes very much to the german government as well. we will see what the next government will be like and where this will lead. while it has been very painful for france, in a way, the government in paris can feel confirmed. latika, the forced multiplication argument is clearly apparent, allowing t...
