Its a devastating situation. and the family wants an apology. theyre grateful its been released now that their family members were not members of a terrorist organization. that is something they wanted -- they want a direct apology. and yes theres talk about compensation and, you know, thats helpful for families all over afghanistan because people in afghanistan are facing a humanitarian crisis, but money doesnt bring back loved ones. and unfortunately when we talk about drone strikes, when we t...

Broke yesterday the white house has been particularly silent on this issue allowing the u.s. military to do the talking but lets make no mistake about this, this is going to be consequential for the president for two reasons. first, this is the last known missile fired from the u.s. during the afghanistan withdrawal really adding just another stain to the chaotic exit from the country, from that 20-year war. secondly, it calls into question the militarys ability to really do those over the horiz...

Afghans are tired of it. theyre tired of war. it is not that they want the taliban in charge, they dont want anyone that will kill civilians. the taliban did it, americans in nato unfortunately did it, afghan forces themselves also did it. theyre exhausted of afghans dying. that said, these over the horizon attacks, general mckenzie said there would be different rules of engagement, time pressure, but they know what over the horizon attacks mean. that means more civilians likely dying despite ha...

>> very poorly frankly we will not have sources on the ground the over the horizon attacks that was carried out was quite limited in effectiveness and every american or afghan ally left behind is a potential victim or hostage remember the taliban loves taking hostages they have done this before the puts us in an extraordinarily difficult position and remember afghanistan is landlocked. one way in by air and one way out. we dont have friends in the neighborhood to provide us the intelligence we w...

We know about the equipment which has been seized by the taliban but that entity, the afghan national army, could have been utilised to ameliorate that now and that could have been done if talks between the taliban and the government of afghanistan had been pushed through by the biden administration which was a prerequisite of the agreement which was adopted by the trump administration so what you are starting to see are the negative consequences of, at the political level, of pushing these agre...

Is the moment that this happens. unfortunately, these kind of attacks happen in afghanistan, have been happening in kabul, but we are all focusing it at the moment because they are trying to pull out those last troops and the last civilians. a final quick vote for now, which is you have been so many times over the last years to afghanistan, reporting on the situation there. we now have a situation where we are on the brink of international forces leaving and yet you have the potential for a leav...

Couple years and its their fight to have. the calculus that the united states can pull the military out mostly, sit back from affair, and if needed go back in and help that is really what is on the table. a lot of us are waiting for the administration to tell us what theyre going to do. the pentagon said theyre coming up with a plan for how to do over the horizon attacks, whatever else needs to be done. and in the meantime we had an announcement that 65 troops were being pulled out. i think ther...
