Everyone out by then, do you extend into september and he would not answer it. partially, it is -- it has to come from the commander-in-chief, but what do you think of that? >> well hes in a tricky spot. and they moved the deadline from 9/11 to august 31st in order not to have the terrible coincident of these two events happening simultaneously. the full pullout and the memorialization of 9/11. so this aug 31st deadline is already being moved and im sure from a pragmatic point of view, if we sti...

So to tell them we will not support our afghan allies in any way shape, or form whatsoever is a shame on our honor. >> what are your fears to what happens next in afghan to interpreters there, afghan citizens, and do you think that country could once again start providing safe harbor to terror groups looking to hit the west? >> i think afghanistan is going to turn into a black hole, if it isnt a black hole already. i think theres a very high likelihood whatever crawls out of that black hole will...

The foreign office and home office who do the processing need more people and more resources to make that happen, then i hope they do that. what i think they must also do is look at what other leavers they have available to them. dominic raab talked about withholding humanitarian aid and has been criticised for that. the other place we could put more pressure is through pakistan. the taliban have not sprung from nowhere. they are inherently part of the afghanistan society but they have been harb...

Proves they were translators and interpreters and helped you guys out in that war is some of the same paperwork that supposedly the taliban is using to identify who their targets will be. >> yeah, its quite amazing just how badly we have done at keeping track at human intelligence and overall bureaucracy. you know, i dont want to give too much of his identity away but i went to college with an afghan immigrant who is a u.s. citizen now. i believe he worked as an interpreter, i know he works with...

Thats where biden has a blind spot here. were talking about whether or not to get people out who are going to get slaughtered. and thats whats on our hands right now. and thats whats really recking so many afghanistan vets across the country right now. if you look at my cell phone, so many other people who have been in the whered media for the last couple of weeks, were getting messages from friends inside of afghanistan, saying what do i do? and veterans saying, how do i get my friends out? the...
