Taliban in all probability coming from the network that knows kabul extremely well. had conducted terrorist attacks in the past. they have a uniformed elite thats very, very highly trained that we have seen in social media now actually walking into the airport, walking up to abandoned american helicopters and so on. so it is an absolutely extraordinary moment. i flash back to the battle for b bora bora when the united states was dropping bombs. they were relatively small numbers of american spec...

Strike by isis-k or other jihadists for that matter. like we spoke about earlier had theyre also having to rely on the taliban, an enemy of 20 years, that theyve been fighting, theyve been dropping bombs on less than a month ago, to provide security from them against isis. but thats the situation on the ground now. its going to be a very precarious 48 hours until tuesday until everybody is out of there. >> yeah. i mean, ali lets talk about that. that deadline is august 31st, tuesday, to fully wi...

Investigations happen when u.s. soldiers are dying. so even though the war was continuing at record pace, we were dropping more bombs at record pace in afghanistan in 2019. media coverage was at some of its lowest that year. it has terrible effects, and what i mean by that is many americans are watching whats happening in kabul right now as its unfolding and that is informing their decision about whether or not the u.s. should have withdrawn rather than some of the events in the last few years, ...

And not engage in a fire squad. what i expect to see, they will be dropping bombs, setting landmines and joe biden will be the collateral dam. he nonhas to deal with answering questions wrong to he -- while hes spending time doing that, hes not on the campaign trail talking about health care, about education, about what theyre going to do with regard to immigration. thats a big detriment to him. meanwhile, the other candidates can point at trump, not answer questions on biden, and talk about iss...

The president is getting what he wants typically out of world leaders. hes getting the flattery, hes getting this kind of sort of conciliatory sitdown where pakistan has been trying to do some things in recent weeks on terrorism that would make president trump and the administration happy. so theyre attempting to reset this relationship. but in some ways this performance today seemed to reveal the simplicity or maybe the oversimplicity in the way that president trump looks at that region and loo...
