again what it said. we have lost 90% of intelligence collection capabilities it had using drones before the draw down. i would have to look at my information, i am determining the level of irs in statistics. it is significant, i don t know about 90%. on the sids and folks in afghanistan, is it fair to say human intelligence network, given the current status and the fact many left behind, fair to say that has been stressed more than drone capabilities do we have much in afghanistan today? we can explain that, i 99ing good detail in a classified session, there is still, yes. do we also, back to secretary austin, i think it is so important for us to show we will move heaven and earth to get the others out of afghanistan, it is not only having impact in
in nonclassified session, the al qaeda threat globally is still there. there is opportunity to reconstitute, it has been ripped ark part steadily over 20 years. al qaeda displaced other parts of the world with ark filliates, in east africa or down in yemen and madrid, etcetera. several ark filliates, some are capable and definitely can affect the united states. with respect to isis, we saw isis core in iraq and iraq, they still exist up there, by the way. isis found a new home in parts of afghanistan, although right now they are at war with the taliban. but isis has affiliates in other parts of the world because of the brutality. there other regions that are lethal terrorist organizations that have aspiration to conduct operations against the united states and we have operations
health capability there to help the soldiers that were on this noncombatant evacuation and they will get immediate assessment and those that need counseling, it is there. the key we have to do, nonstigmatizing mental health issues a sailor or marine have, they feel free to seek counsel we have available. thank you. i d like to follow-up on the line of questioning that senator ernst started. can you describe the al qaeda threat, where it is located, where it will be going, what it is strength is compared to the strength of the last 20 years and please answer for isis, isis-k and other variations of isis across the world? you re asking me, senator? yes, general milley first and then secretary austin. so first i think it would be good to handle in some detail in the classified session issue but
and intelligence in other parts to continue to watch that. it has moved in various parts and we can cover that in the classified session, if that is okay. thank you, thank you, mr. chairman, i will pursue in the classified setting. senator tillis, please. thank you, mr. chairman. general milley and general mckenzie, i ran out of time before i could thank you for the work your staff did in august. we were working several cases, if i was involved, i remember a conversation with one of your staff, general milley at 3:00 in the morning while trying to shepherd someone out and we did get them out, along with american citizens. unfortunately, we have a much longer list of people that we were not successful with getting out between siv holders and family members, my office alone has 900 people still on a list of people who are still in afghanistan.
0 about 100 americans and that figure doesn t change. we need a real accounting for how many people, big difference between 100 and 4000. my biggest takeaway, we have no counter terrorism strategy and milley and mckenzie testifyod this, mckenzie said he is not confident we can prevent al qaeda or isis. harris: i am rushing, it is top of the hour, kayleigh and emily, everybody on outnumbered, quick one for us as we ark wait the panel to reconvene. thanks for watching fox news. our coverage continues on america reports. sandra: the senate armed services adjourning for a break, set to resume 30 minutes from now. the nation s top military leaders facing tough questioning on capitol hill for the first time since the chaotic exit from afghanistan. hello and welcome, everyone, i m sandra smith in new york. john: i m john robert necessary washington. lloyd austin, and general mark milley and general frank mckenzie all testifying today before the senate armed everybodies iss committee
