Well and theyre trying to prevent it, but it is a real risk. we are not sure at this point what their capability is because, keep in mind, you know, we have pulled out and we have been out for a while. we dont have the type of visibility in afghanistan to monitor the terrorist threat we used to have. so it is imperative that we get the americans and the siv holders and the afghans who supported us out of there as quickly and as safely as possible. that is going to be a very complicated task. >> ...

Our assessments of the security environment and what we think is in the best interest. >> can i ask you one other not related to this. there are some reports that the afghan military and maybe some others are rising up against the taliban, particularly some in the north and im wondering if theres been any request for u.s. military air strikes to support them, and if so, is that the kind of thing that the u.s. military would engage in? >> dont want to anticipate or talk about the future. as you k...

Especially in person. as you know, president biden said theres no indicatig these plans? >> it was the administration saying its fluid and dynamic. some would characterize it as fairly chaotic as well. i think what we need to do is to pause and praise our u.s. military, just the segment that you just ran showing our military adapting. not only being military people but humanitarians. they are taking care of the people and they are using the great capability they have. i dont think we appreciate ...

In the best interest of people. >> one other not related to this, there are reports that the afghan military and maybe some others who are rising up against the taliban, particularly some in the north, and im wondering if theres been any request for u.s. military airstrikes to start them, and if so, is that the kind of thing the u.s. military would engage in? >> i dont want to anticipate or talk about the future. as you know, no current requests for that have come in, but we continue to maintain...

To operate from there, and their idea of the agreement they signed says, well, were committed to preventing them from conducting terrorist operations. were not required to expel them from the country. al qaeda is resurging. bagram saw the release of a number of al qaeda and high value prisoners. there are a number of well experienced al qaeda operatives in iran making their way, and i do see that threat accelerating much faster than imagined. >> the united states us plan is to keep a lid on al q...

Build out even more. >> did the people that were stuck there for so long, did they have food, water and sanitation? >> yes. i have no report that they didnt. >> i want to follow up on the 169 americans that were reused. was that an incident where a commander took a decision and left the wire to help those people? were weapons drawn or did that commander ask for a higher up authority to leave the wire? >> im going to absolutely get more. if you look about the gate and where they are, you can see,...

I understand theyre working very hard at the prosecute as many people as possible. but this example shows that they might be missing some crimes. so the fbi, its not like they dont have the capability, they have a long surveillance of surveillance sabotaging left-wing organizations as. faces more we recently black lives matter, why are we seeing the same urgency with this investigation? >> >> i think that the thing that makes the sedition hunters so well is the crowd sourcing, this is the fbi th...

With the presence there? >> well, the answer is it doesnt. and the cia director was pretty clear about that about six weeks ago before the congress when he said if we get out, we will have less capability to know what is going on. to know what terrorist cells are there. to know what theyre planning. and frankly, to be able to stop them. we will have less capability. they talk about having an over-the-horizon capability. well, i had that in the 1990s and let me tell ya, that was not very satisfac...
