In your view as an army man, a military man, how do you secure that area? what will be going on in these moments on the ground? the only way to really do it is to push the parameter out. the problem is you have the masses of people batting on this perimeter and if you secure the perimeter you have no depth to identify the proximate depth. we had an early warning from an intelligence perspective, but that does not do a lot of good if you do not control your perimeter out to a sufficient range whe...

Deadline. >> well, it will be extremely difficult. essentially two things. you have to get out all the civilians. then you start collapsing the perimeter from without. in that regard this is where we have a working relationship -- we dont trust the taliban but we have a working relationship with the taliban to hold a perimeter while we slowly collapse our perimeter. were getting more and more troops onto planes and slowing and shrinking the pocket of where we are so were both keeping ourselves s...

The air, they capture a large cash of american weapons, they have their own weapons, we have to assume the worst and that is how military planners are looking at it now. they are assuming the worst, expecting the worst, preparing a response for that. >> one of the most concerning things, the fact that he said they have the capability to shoot these planes down and the airplane that was -- they are telling people to come to the airport and now telling people to leave the airport but saying you ne...

As we reported yesterday, a credible threat intelligence stream that the u.s. had about plots, planning and capability to carry out an attack targeting exactly a gate like this and exactly a crowd like this that has been gathering at these gates. i want to go now to sam kiley. he was on the ground until just yesterday morning among the journalists taking out of the country in part because of safety concerns. sam, this was the concern and the sad fact is the pentagon now confirming such an attack...

Yesterday that there was a real concern that these terrorists would launch a strike before the u.s. pulled out of afghanistan next tuesday is the deadline. and it, sadly, it happened and we did hear the president say we will hunt you down and make you pay. jen psaki just went one step forward. she said not only make you pay. she said we will kill you. >> yeah. sadly, the intelligence was right here. they said that they were concerned that isis-k had both the capability and the intent to carry ou...

Something like this. mike rogers, appreciate it. we are just getting new and graphic video of the aftermath of the terror attack in kabul. were blurring the video because its so jarring. you can see a row of bodies. some wounded among citizens there. others lifeless. survivors and bystanders looking for anyone they can who can help. with me now is our cnn producer with details out of kabul. tim, what do we know now that we didnt know an hour ago? >> anderson, i think the most important thing we ...

You are not seriously suggesting that the white house presses the pause button this close to the deadline? heck yes, i am. i guess the question is for all of our political leaders, what is the mission? is the mission just to complete our surrender and withdrawal? or is it to get our citizens out and the afghans who are at the highest and most grave risk because they assisted us and were engaged in trying to build a better future for their country? if it is the latter, we better do a hell of a lo...

Kabul. that would make sense. remember, we have been there ten days. if youre a terror group, want to execute attack against the americans, you start moving to the target, moving your supply chain to do explosive attacks into kabul. i am not convinced that the taliban would really be in on it. from their perspective, as soon as the americans go, thats better for them. the dangerous part of this is like colonel jacobs was saying, as we get a smaller footprint, the attack pattern gets more intense...

Reporting. >> reporter: i think, kate, the big worry is that isis-k had this capability. they have the motivation and it is their moat modus on ranty. they are used to carrying out attacks on civilian targets. theyve attacked courts and religious ceremonies and carry out complex attacks as nick and peter have said. i recall one where they waited until the media rushed to one particular suicide bombing and then send a second suicide bomber in. -- undercover to afghanistan. bringing all of the ski...
