Launch not just attacks from the air but also surveillance from the air. so now all of those air operations have to come from outside of the country. any boots on the ground kind of mission, ct mission, sale missions, et cetera, have to come from outside the country. and intel dpgathering is compromised. we heard bill burns testify to exactly that. so to deliver on the presidents promise, we will have a test of this over the horizon capabilities, in other words, doing it from afar. it is definit...

Phase 1 was a failure. phase 2 could be a success if they work on the evacuation not just of the americans, obviously thats priority number one, but of the afghans. your guest said it very well, this is not a humanitarian or moral issue. of course it is that, but its way beyond that. how are you going to get people in taiwan, people in ukraine, people in every place that you are fighting terrorists, to work with americans if they think that theyre going to be left hanging out to dry when the ame...

People in every place that you are fighting terrorists, to work with americans if they think that theyre going to be left hanging out to dry when the americans decide to leave? >> look, obvious question, fareed. after 20 years of war, did you ever think that we would be in a situation where the united states was forced to rely on the taliban to evacuate people? >> no. because i thought we had established enough of a security presence in afghanistan that even if we left, we would be able to leave...
